The Albert County Historical Society is forming a Steering Committee to plan celebrations and activities for Albert County’s 175th Birthday, taking place in 2020.
Albert County 175 is a celebration of the 175th Anniversary of the founding of Albert County, New Brunswick. The act to found the county was passed by the New Brunswick Legislature on March 23, 1845, and gained Royal Assent on August 8, 1845, making Albert County officially a county. This makes us older than Canada by 22 years–now that is worthy of a party!

Albert County has so much to celebrate! Our natural spaces are some of the best in Canada and include Fundy National Park, Dobson Trail, Cape Enrage, White Rock Recreation Area and the Hopewell Rocks. Our communities are great places to live. They feature arts and creativity, rich agriculture, and abundance from the sea. Our history speaks volumes with Founding Fathers (visit the Steeves House Museum to learn more), the only Canadian Prime Minister to come from New Brunswick (visit Albert County Museum), and the first female sea captain in North America (learn more at the Molly Kool Centre). And that’s only to a few amazing things about us!
We want everyone to share in the excitement of our 175th and we’ll be looking for inspiring ways to commemorate our shared past, to celebrate today, and look ahead to our bright future. We’re looking to gather a great group of volunteers and we want to hear from people across the Albert County who have ideas for events, projects or other initiatives. Options for funding will also be explored.
We’re forming the Albert County 175 Celebration Committee. The committee will work to generate ideas and to inspire others to contribute thoughts and events to the Albert County 175 Celebrations. Anyone who would be willing to take part in this committee, or know of someone who would be like to be involved, is encouraged to send an email to [email protected]. We are planning for a great year!
