Long Description:
Built onto the farmhouse of Yorkshire emigrant George Bulmer (ca
1792), the Boultenhouse Heritage Centre is not only one of
Sackville’s oldest surviving houses, but a dynamic new museum to
showcase this area’s rich history.
Discover Sackville’s Maritime shipbuilding history in the home
of this town’s most prolific shipwright, Christopher Boultenhouse.
Experience early Victorian living in the parlour, which houses a
rare handmade mural decoration from France!
Enjoy artifacts, maps and panels that portray Sackville’s past –
its domestic life, merchants & manufacturing, and industrial
growth.
The Boultenhouse Heritage Centre also houses an Education Room,
a developing Resource Centre, and the administrative offices of the
Tantramar Heritage Trust.
