There’s no time like the present to discover the past – celebrating 50 years of bringing history to life! Kings Landing is an open-air, living history museum that tells the story of life in 19th-century rural New Brunswick. Since 1974, millions of visitors have shared in our history. With 70 historic buildings from the late 1800s and early 1900s and a collection of over 90,000 artefacts, Kings Landing is a world-class living history museum and a must-see for history lovers.

A visit to Kings Landing includes chatting with our costumed villagers, walking through our galleries, taking a horse and wagon ride, eating a delicious meal at the King’s Head Inn Restaurant, seeing the many farm animals, shopping at the Peddler’s Market and the Grant Store, and so much more. There’s truly something for everyone!

Kings Landing is open from early June until mid-October.

Fun Facts

+ Kings Landing is celebrating its 50th anniversary season in 2024!
