Okay 10 points to the person who can identify where this might be in the county. This photo is from Archives New Brunswick, and is listed as An Albert County stream, c.1940.

This is one of my favourite views, which you can just glimpse today through the trees. It is between Hopewell Cape and Hillsborough, but closer to the Cape. The white structure to the right are the Gypsum Company Silos. Although probably safer, today’s guardrails lack the picturesque beauty of this ones from 1938.

Now back to Hillsborough. Here is a photo of the W.Street Steeves Residence on Oxley Street. Did you notice the person on the rocking chair ?

Now a trip to Edgett’s Landing showing the King John (Steeves) House. This was last owned by Perce & Gertie Steeves. It has since fallen down. I think at one time, it was the oldest house in Albert County, I wonder which house owns that title now? Any thoughts?

Now a trip to Hillsborough showing the Jordan Steeves House c.1900 in Main Street. Jordan Steeves was the owner of J Steeves and Son Hardware. Notice the canopy on the carriage and the bicycle, what a great picture.

Now a trip to Hopewell Cape with this house on the Old Great Road. What a gorgeous classic picket fence.This was owned by the Martin Family and sadly burned many years ago.

I’m posting this amazing photo just in case anyone is complaining about the heat, Here is a photo of Albert County’s famous conservationist Mary Majka and her home on Caledonia Mountain on March 27, 1967. Enjoy the summer!

Another photo of a house in Albert County. This photo is from the New Brunswick Archives, it doesn’t give a location in the county though. Does anyone recognize it? This photo is circa 1950. The spire on top of the Widow’s walk is a crowning touch.

Let’s take a look at a few houses in Albert County. This photo is from the New Brunswick Archives, it doesn’t give a location in the county though. Does anyone recognize it? This photo is circa 1950.

Let’s stay on the river for some swimming. In this photo we see a group of young people swimming in river also two sitting in a canoe on the river, Camp Hermit Thrush near Elgin, c.1940.

Today was supposed to be Elgin Days, in the Village of Elgin. Unfortunately they had to cancel due to the health restrictions. Here is a fun photo of a group of people standing on wooden walkway crossing the river at Camp Hermit Thrush near Elgin, c.1940.

Happy 175th Birthday Albert County! Today the 8th of August 1845, 175 years ago, Queen Victoria signed into being the County of Albert in the Province of New Brunswick. The photo you see is the petition that brought it about. The Petition was started by James Brewster in November 1840 and was signed by 440 inhabitants of what was to become Albert County. If you can image the work it took to get 440 signatures in 1840 it was quite the undertaking! If you wish to see the rest of signatories of the petition a copy of it will be on display at the Museum! Many family names ring out today in Albert County!
