William Henry Steeves Museum

We celebrate the heritage of the Hillsborough and Albert County region. The museum is located in a charming Colonial mansion filled with light from its many windows. The original cottage was finished in 1812, and, in 1814, William Henry Steeves was born here as the oldest of eleven children. He became a Father of Confederation and, later, a member of the Senate. The cottage was enlarged around 1840 when William's father Joseph became rich. This, together with later additions, brought the size of the house to 6000 sq. ft. We are open through the Spring, Summer, and Fall.
