Kings Landing Historic Settlement

New Brunswick
Although the Trans-Canada Highway passes through several cities, and two-dozen towns, the thrill comes when driving through the great valley of the St. John River. Leading north from Fredericton, the highway passes through the area known as the Rhine of North America, In Hartland, the river is crossed by the longest covered bridge in the world.
Kings Landing Historic Settlement (picture on the left) is a fine restoration of early rural life in New Brunswick. Located a few minutes north of Fredericton, on the St John River, Kings Landing is a living history museum, offering a glimpse of pioneer life from the time of the Loyalists (refugees from the American Revolution). From June to October, costumer interpreters show how life was lived from the Loyalists to the late Vistorians. the site is found at Exit 259 of the Trans-Canada Highway. It's open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The Trans-Canada Highway leads 325 miles (523 KM) through this beautiful province, from Sackville, on the Nova Scotia border, to just north of Edmondston, at the border with Quebec. Most of the trip is along the St. John River, after passing through Moncton, Sussex and Fredericton.
To travel the Trans-Canada route to Prince Edward Island, take Highway 16 at the Nova Scotia/New Brunswick border, and drive 36 miles to the bridge, opened in 1997.
