Built in 1839 in the Greek-Revival style, Connell House was the residence of the Honorable Charles Connell, a politician best known for having served as Post Master General of the former British colony in New Brunswick. During his tenure, Connell became the centre of controversy when, in 1860, he printed his own image on the colony’s 5 cent stamp in place of Queen Victoria’s.

Notes from "Natalie’s New Brunswick"

Also in Woodstock, don’t miss the Connell House. The Connells were prominent Loyalists and their 1830s house is a gorgeous pile of large columns, porches and shutters. Check out the ‘stone’ balustrade along the front lawn – its actually made of wood, finished to look like stone! The house hosts fabulous tea parties (currently on hold due to the pandemic) but I was lucky enough to go there with my family last summer. We enjoyed the exhibits upstairs, learning about Tappan Adney, an American-Canadian artist, writer and photographer who became a champion of Wolastoqiyik canoe-builders and played a role in keeping that art alive.
