The Loyalist House

NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE Loyalist House was constructed from 1811 to 1817 by David Daniel Merrit, a Loyalist from Rye, New York. The oldest building in the city of Saint John, it survived the Great Fire of 1877 due to servants surrounding it with wet towels. The Merrit family continuously occupied it for nearly 150 years, and in 1959 it was acquired by the New Brunswick Historical Society.

The Old (Loyalist) Burial Grounds

This area was set aside as a public ground in the original town plan (1783). In April 1848, it was closed to further burials by an Act of the Provincial Legislature. The grounds were restored by the Irving family in 1995 in memory of the late K. C. Irving (1899-1992), founder of the Irving empire of companies. Granite paver pathways, historic style lamps and a unique beaver fountain were added to revitalize this graveyard.
