History

The Loomcrofters Studio building is one of the oldest in New Brunswick, dating back to 1789, and was a hand-weaving studio at one time. It is marked as a turning point in arts and crafts development in New Brunswick.

The building still includes historic furniture, cabinets, tables, shelving, and working looms used in the original business. There are also reproductions of the official gifts to royalty, remaining stock (ties, towels, ornaments, etc.) from the closure of the business, and unused materials like woollens, cotton, and synthetics. On top of all that, the entire business archive of papers, patterns, notes, letters, bills, and invoices remains intact.
