St Stephen Attractions

The small industrial town of St Stephen lies on the little St Croix River where it enters Fundy Bay. Founded in the 17th C, St Stephen did not really develop until one hundred years later, when American loyalists settled here. It is now home to the woodworking, paper and textile industries. The bridge over the river leads to Calais, in the U.S. state of Maine.
St Stephen has a couple of interesting museums and historic homes, and is also a good destination for bird watching. The town calls itself "Canada's Chocolate Town" and has a chocolate museum where you can learn all about it.

Oddly, the town is also known for its large number of dragonflies.

Chocolate Museum

Brothers James and Gilbert Ganong grew up in rural New Brunswick, in 1873 they opened their own grocery store and, when it almost failed, they added candy. With this successful addition, they started to make their own candy to sell in the store.
