Hayward China Museum

Hayward Fine China Museum

The Hayward Fine China Museum exhibits showcase Hayward & Warwick's prominent role in this long established Saint John industry. Hayward & Warwick is the oldest family owned business in Saint John.

The museum, located in their retail store at 85 Princess Street, will highlight the story of the manufacturing and retailing of earthenware, housewares and fine china from 1785 to present. William Warwick started his business on Prince William Street in 1853 and in 1855 sold his china and glassware business to his nephew W.H. Hayward. The families retained a business relationship until the 1920s.

The museum will also exhibit souvenir china, designed specifically for the tourist market at the turn of the 20th century. Hayward & Warwick plan to capitalize on the growing cruise ship market by attracting those passengers with an interest in collecting china, one of North America's top hobbies.

An interesting component of the exhibit will show the different shipping modes in which china was shipped to Saint John. This includes a straw-filled woven ash crate, a hogshead barrel, to the insulated cardboard boxes of today. China stored in native-made baskets will hang from the ceiling, as it was less than three decades ago.

The museum will also highlight the story of the Foley Pottery, which has its roots with William Warwick's Courtenay Bay pottery. In 1964 the pottery relocated to Labelle, Quebec where it continued as the Canuk Pottery. Many will remember Fen Foley's pottery in his home on Bayside Drive.

L.M. Montgomery Lower Bedeque School

The former Lower Bedeque School is valued as a well preserved representation of a rural school house in PEI in the late 19th Century and for its association with the famed author, Lucy Maud Montgomery, who taught at the school in 1896-97.
The First Lower Bedeque School was built in 1840. In 1874, due to a dispute among the school board members it was torn down and stolen away in the dead of the night. Some of the board members wanted the school replaced and some did not. Legend says that pieces of the school are still hidden in local barns to this day. The present structure was built in the late 1800's.
The school was operational until 1961, when the consolidation of schools meant it was no longer needed. The structure gradually fell into decay from disuse until the 1980s when a local heritage preservation group, the Friends of Lucy Maud Montgomery School in Lower Bedeque, formed. With the assistance of volunteers, government funds, and donations of artifacts, the plan to restore the building began in 1989.

O'Dell House Museum

The O'Dell House Museum has long been an important site on the local waterfront. Built by Corey O'Dell, a former Nova Scotia Pony Express rider, the building was originally operated as a stagecoach inn and tavern. Many travellers getting off the ferry from Granville Ferry, would have made this their first stop. The remains of the ferry slip can still be seen across from the museum at low tide. The museum building itself is also a remnant of the economic prosperity brought to this community by the railroad and international shipping interests during the late Victorian period.

The O'Dell House Museum is now the home of the Annapolis Heritage Society Genealogy Centre, archives and offices. In addition to these services, the museum is displayed as a Victorian inn and tavern on the main floor with contemporary museum exhibits on the second floor.

The museum plays host to two Victorian celebrations during the year. In mid May, the Victoria Day events offer the pageantry of an 1870s celebration of Queen Victoria's Birthday and act as the unofficial opening of the summer visitor season. In December the museum hosts a heart-warming, old-fashioned Victorian Christmas. This event is complete with natural decorations, hot mulled cider, home made cookies and carols around the 1885 pump-organ.
