The Village of Gagetown...

Founded in 1783 and incorporated in 1966, the Village of Gagetown is steeped in history. Mapped out in usual military precision, the Village became a bustling, vibrant farming community. Today, Gagetown is a Mecca for artists, artisans, bird watchers and boaters.

Tour the many studios featuring pottery, weaving and art and enjoy watching the artists work. Step back in time as you experience the Queens County Museum, the home of Father of Confederation, Sir Leonard Tilley and the historic Queens County Courthouse.

The charm of the Bed and Breakfast is never better experienced than in the Village of Gagetown. The Village offers attractive turn-of-the century architecture and décor to complement the down-home friendliness of the residents.

The Village features a full service marina in the core of the Village for the serious boaters. The Queens County Fair, held in mid September, continues to be one of the oldest and largest country fairs.

Come taste what’s new this year! The many restaurants offer a variety of fine dining experience. Visit the many farm markets in season and enjoy a tour of the Gagetown Cider Company. You can even experience a ride across the majestic Saint John River on a free cable ferry.

There’s lots packed in to such a small place!
