Snug along the banks of the St. Mary's River, Sherbrooke Village is a restoration of an authentic 19th-century boomtown whose fortunes were founded on timber, tall ships and gold.

Explore the historic village to discover an operating water-powered sawmill, a rare ambrotype photographic studio, and a full service restaurant. Visit the Masonic Lodge, Temperance Hall, General Store, Drug Store and a sea captain's home, as well as many other historic buildings on site. Numerous demonstrations of traditional crafts are featured, including pottery, weaving, wood turning, and blacksmithing.
