Twenty minutes north of the city is the museum village of Kings Landing, where you and your family can experience life as it was for the Loyalists who settled the river valley after leaving the 13 American colonies at the time of the Revolution. In addition to that era of history, it illustrates life in a rural community well into the 20th century, with home and farm skills such as candle-making, flax spinning, and gardening.
Free interactive programs draw tourists into the daily routines, perhaps offering a chance to play an old-style musical instrument or try their hand at spinning or candle-making. You can watch early tradesmen, including a printer and a blacksmith, and tour houses of people at all levels, from farmers to the local gentry. Kids especially love riding a horse-drawn wagon to visit the working sawmill.

KAYAKING on St Johns River
The wide Saint John River provides a watery backdrop to the city, and its waters and riverbanks provide a major source of recreation. The heart of Fredericton lies in a bend of the river, which flows within a few yards of the Garrison District and Queen Street shops. Colorful kayaks are a common sight, and at both sides of the city center, islands create narrower channels for kayakers and canoeists to explore.
You can rent kayaks on the shore at Oromocto, just south of downtown Fredericton, or join Second Nature Outdoors for a sundown paddle to explore the waters around nearby Thatch Island. Early birds can join a sunrise tour at Hartt Island Resort to paddle among the islands west of the city.
Second Nature Outdoors also rents single and double kayaks, stand up paddleboards, and canoes from its base in Oromocto. Farther downstream, the Gagetown Marina, just off Front Street, also rents kayaks and canoes. There is a public boat launch at the northern end of Front Street.
Below Fredericton, at Gagetown, Evandale, and farther south, cable-driven car ferries cross the river to connect scenic, rural roads through farms and marshlands. These ferries are part of the New Brunswick highway system and are free.
