Step into the history of Sackville, New Brunswick, at the Boultenhouse Heritage Centre, where three remarkable historic buildings tell the story of the people, architecture, and communities that shaped the Tantramar region.
Whether you’re fascinated by heritage homes, local history, or genealogy, the Boultenhouse Heritage Centre offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore more than two centuries of New Brunswick’s past.
The Boultenhouse Heritage Centre is home to three distinctive heritage buildings, each with its own story to tell.
Built around 1840 by Christopher Boultenhouse, this impressive Greek Revival mansion serves as the centrepiece of the site. Visitors can explore the grand entrance hall and four exhibit rooms on the main floor, each highlighting different aspects of the region’s history.
Dating back to approximately 1792, the Bulmer House is one of the oldest homes in the area. Originally built by George Bulmer, this Georgian farmhouse offers a glimpse into early settlement and rural life in southeastern New Brunswick.
One of the site’s most unique attractions is the Anderson Octagonal House, built in 1855 by Captain George Anderson. The eight-sided home was relocated to the Heritage Centre in 2012 and now houses the Alec R. Purdy Tantramar History and Genealogy Research Centre, where visitors can explore the rich family and community history of the region.
The Boultenhouse Heritage Centre welcomes visitors throughout the summer season.
