Lady Smith Manor Owner-Renovators Stephen and Miriam - Open House Christmas Market


Thank you Miriam and Stephen for your warm hospitality!

FINALLY, after following the Youtube channel for over a year I was happy to take a trip out and pay $5 to attend at the annual "Christmas Market" held at Lady Smith Manor indoors and outdoors in late November on a lovely warm sunny day.. It was truly amazing !  I found Miriam over behind the bar in what will be the Thirsty Whippet Pub [yet to open to the public].. and her husband Stephen not too far away with their sweet whippet dog. Miriam advises they will be providing non-alcoholic beverages too!

Nutcracker theme for market this Christmastime.. 

Reminder that the government has taken notice of the hard work these two renovators are busy with.

We are so excited, honoured and grateful to find out today that we are a finalist in both the “Partnership Award” and “Product Development Award” categories of the Tourism Industry Association of NB 2022 Awards. TIANB / AITNB
And just when we thought we couldn’t get more excited…..we have also been nominated by the Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture for a national Canadian Tourism Award.
Words can’t describe how honoured we are to be nominated, and how much we appreciate each and every person who has been part of our journey over the last few years.
We are so proud to be part of this amazing community and are so grateful that we have the opportunity to bring the Manor back to life for you to enjoy. ♥️"

Lady Smith Manor Diaries - Episode 001 - Renovations of a Dorchester New Brunswick Heritage Home


Namesake notable "Smith" behind the name "Lady Smith Mayor" ... with some wiki history here:



Lady Smith Manor was the residence of Liberal Smith and his wife Sarah -- Premier Smith of the Colony of New Brunswick also known as Honourable Sir Albert James Smith ...  he is buried in the Dorchester New Brunswick cemetary.. he appears to have had one son who died on the same day as him... how tragic... one wonders if they were involved in some sort of accident?

Keep up with the adventures at Facebook, Instagram, Youtube.... with Miriam originally from the UK who came to New Brunswick from B.C. with her husband Stephen to buy and restore the old manor home ... I have added one of the videos to my Bitchute channel for the record where Miriam talks about someone donating their entire royal family book collection to her for the Manor's library... here at this link on my channel:

I'm not on Facebook but I did recently come across Miriam's project this year when I noticed the group 'Dorchester NB and Area Happenings' ..
