We made a special effort to go to the Roosevelt Campobello International Park, and are so glad we did. It's about 2 hours north/northeast of Bar Harbor, and usually we don't allot enough time to go. But this trip was specifically for coming to the park, and we are so glad we did. It's a small for an international park, and surprisingly uncrowded; the docents are well trained and versed on FDR history and have many delightful tales about the family and the place they would spend some of their summers. The guided tour is excellent, and there are a wealth of books and mementos in the small gift shop in the visitor center. We opted to do the Tea With Eleanor at 3:00, which was well worth the nominal cost to attend. It is easy to understand why this was such a special haven to FDR and his family; the natural beauty is breathtaking and out of the mainstream of life. We came the first week of July, and the wild lupines were blooming all over the island in profusion and were spectacular.

I took part in the ghost walk this past summer while I was on vacation in St.Andrews, Felicity who led the ghost walks was very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We truly enjoyed the different sites and history of the town. We truly enjoyed the Gaol and it was easy to tell that this was the biggest hit and Felicity truly enjoyed it and was extremely passionate throughout the different history. The Gaol was definitely haunted and super spooky and Felicity did a wonderful job of emphasizing it. 10/10 I will definitely be back again!!!

An affordable and relaxing trip into the past. From the general store, to the printing shop and the restaurant, we enjoyed the interaction with staff and the food. Fun day.

Stopped in for a visit at Fort Beausejour a couple of weeks ago. Dealt with staff member Juliette who was very knowledgable, very friendly and welcoming. Fort Beausejour is a great location to visit with lots of interesting information on the history. I highly recommend this location to anyone!
6. Loyalist House

Loyalist House is perhaps the finest example of architecture and furniture from the late 1700s in Canada. I've visited there 4 times over the past 10 years and each time I find it excellent. Rare period furniture from the American Revolution that was owned by United Empire Loyalists. The building is very well preserved and representative of early colonial times in the Atlantic region. I found the staff to be very knowledgable and helpful and the handy written scripted guide I was provided with was very useful. This house/museum is a hidden gem and I definitely recommend it to students of our early history.

What a charming way to spend a day from a home base in Lubec Maine. I was in Lubec for SummerKeys Music Camp and by myself. Getting there is just a quick drive over the bridge. I really didn’t have anything specific I wanted to see because I didn’t know anything about it. I think it was more fun that way because everything was an aha! moment, including the FDR summer home, the tea with Eleanor Roosevelt presentation, the lighthouse and the site seeing! All within a few hours. It was such a worthwhile adventure. And I didn’t even get to the beaches which I hear are gorgeous.
8. Legislative Assembly Building

When we found we were passing Fredericton we decided to tour the New Brunswick Legislative Assembly Building. The building was built in the 1880s to impress the public with the status of the Province of New Brunswick. Our tour guide, Corben, did an excellent job of explaining the art and rooms of the building, all spiced with amusing associated anecdotes as well as the governmental forms and political parties of New Brunswick. I recommend this tour for anyone interested in New Brunswick history and government. As well as Americans curious about the Canadian government system.

Our family was touring the Miramichi area and we decided to make a stop here. Well worth it. We signed up for the food tour and had a fantastic time. We went wandering in the woods to pick some leaves for tea, made some bread that we cooked in the sand under hot coals and had a meal of moose meatballs, fiddleheads and the bread and tea that we'd made. We also had an elder from the community come and sing/share stories which was a nice treat. The displays in the museum are also really well done. My 11-year was fascinated by the birchbark canoe, the stuffed moose head and the sturgeon hide, plus he really enjoyed the videos and short audio stories of how life used to be. The best part was the staff though. They were so engaging and enthusiastic. They answered all of our questions and were so happy to teach us things.
