Keswick Ridge
Historical Society

Supporting community, preserving history.

We are a registered non-profit group dedicated to preserving the history, stories, and artifacts of the Keswick region in New Brunswick, Canada.

As part of our ongoing work on the classic McKeen’s Corner Store, we’re planning to rebuild the canopy that once sheltered the front veranda.

To do this authentically, we’re looking for old, corrugated metal roofing. It should be in sturdy condition with a rusty patina (195 or earlier vintage). To be historically accurate, it should have regular corrugations. We’ll need about 120 square feet of it. If you have, or know where we might find, that kind of roofing, please contact Dan Nicholson by emailing keswickridgehistoricalsociety@gmail.com.

Are you a former student of the Keswick Ridge Superior School?

We need your help to create our Schoolhouse Museum! We are working to restore a classroom in the Superior School and plan to open it to the public in the near future. We have chosen to represent the time between 1953, when it became an elementary school and 1969, when it closed as a public school.

To be as accurate as possible, we are seeking the help of past students from this timeframe. Share your memories by filling out this questionnaire or, if you prefer a paper copy of the questionnaire, email us and we will mail one to you.

Thanks in advance for helping us with this exciting project.
