New Brunswick Hotels and Motels-Kings Landing
This part of Canada was originally peopled with loyalists to the British crown who fled America at the start of the Revolution War. By 1783 more than 15,000 Loyalists had come to the area, with many settling on the western shore of the Bay of Fundy. However, many went further up-river to what became known as King's Landing. King's Landing is not far from the provincial capital of Fredericton.
The name, King's Landing was taken from the King of England's American Dragoons, a regiment of Americans who fought for the British during the American Revolutionary War. The original settlement was buried underwater when the Canadian government built the big hydroelectric Mactaquac Dam back in the 1960s.
There are more than 50 historic buildings in a village that spans several acres on Courser's Cove. They are completely restored to their eighteenth century elegance and form and peopled with docents who welcome all visitors. The tales told are of the well to do and the poor residents, from the town fathers to the cooper and blacksmith. Venturing out from your New Brunswick hotel or motel will take you a furniture making shop where you can observe the crafting of authentic New Brunswick furniture.
Home life from back in the day are also recreated for the curious. Courser's Cove features a water driven saw mill and also a water driven grist mill, both dating from the 1800s. Visitors are invited to inspect the working mechanisms and see the changes in technology. If furniture making and mill mechanisms are not your cup of tea then maybe you will find yourself wandering lost in the any number of formal gardens nearby.
Be sure to ask your front desk clerk for information about local events and tour possibilities before you venture out from your New Brunswick hotel, motel or bed and breakfast.
