Nicely preserved. Even if it is closed, stop and have a peep into history.
Tourist information as well as a museum. It's a must see stop on your way to Fundy.
A wonderful piece of history. Very interesting and knowledgeable staff!!
The building was specifically constructed to house a bank. It served the community of Riverside since 1903. The bank’s placement was of strategic importance: it’s original location in Riverside by the wharf and next to a large hotel, made it convenient for arriving and departing merchants and mariners. It has the distinction of having served two prestigious institutions, first The Bank of New Brunswick and, after bank amalgamation in 1939, the Bank of Nova Scotia. Its very small but a neat place to visit and capture some of New Brunswick's early history.
