A
Old Government House
The magnificent stone palace that is Old Government House was erected for the British governor in 1826. The representative of the queen moved out in 1893 after the province refused to continue paying his expenses, and during most of the 20th century the complex was a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) headquarters. It now evocatively captures a moment in time with tours led by staff in period costume.
New Brunswick's lieutenant governor lives on the 3rd floor and his limousine with a single crown for a license number is often parked outside.

Legislative Assembly
Built in 1880, the Legislative Assembly is a marvel of craftsmanship and detailing. When the Legislative Assembly is not in session, guides show you around, pointing out things of particular merit, like the wooden speaker's chair and spiral staircase. When the assembly is in session (end of November to Christmas, March to June), visitors are welcome to observe.
