Nestled in charming Dorchester New Brunswick, once the "Shiretown" of Westmorland County, the Westmorland Historical Society preserves the region's rich cultural legacy. Through landmarks like the Keillor House Museum, St. James Textile Museum, Bell Inn and Payzant & Card Building, we bring history to life with engaging programs and experiences.
From the St. James Textile Museum to the Graydon Milton Library and Genealogy Centre, we safeguard the traditional textile methods, stories, artifacts, and architecture that define our region's identity.
As a registered charity, your donation helps protect historic places, grow our exhibits, and create experiences that bring the past to life.
