With more than 155 years of fascinating history, the Town of Woodstock, New Brunswick’s earliest town, is a treasure trove of heritage. On May 1, 1856, Woodstock was honored with the distinction of being the first town to be incorporated in New Brunswick. The town is proud of its array of 19th-century Victorian architectural gems, which include beautifully preserved heritage homes, churches, and civic buildings. Here are a few notable examples.
Judge Jones House, built in 1856-1857. 119 Chapel Street. Maudie’s Tea Room, 103 Grover St, built in 1921. Originally called the “Sunset Porch”. In 1932 Rt. Hon. MacKenzie King had dinner there.Tupper House, 140 Connell Street, built in the late 1830’s operated as a stagecoach stop and an Inn.Newnham & Slipp Pharmacy Woodstock founded by William T. Baird in 1839. Founded in the 19th century, the WI was an action group for rural women. In 1951 they purchased “Benn House” as a retirement home for elderly members, meeting part of the cost from sales of 20,000 copies of it’s “Victory Cookbook”.

I was born in Woodstock, NB and my name is Jo Anne Kelly. My Father built the original LOG COSY CABINS and the family is searching for pictures of them. He built them in the early 30’s. May have been 1930. I will very much appreciate if you get back to me with information. Thanks and have a good week. I live in Montreal.

My parents bought the McLean’s Dairy property from old Mrs McLean in the early 1960’s and I had never known the history of this home. Thank you.
