Chief Executive Officer - Fredericton, Canada - Kings Landing

Description

Along the Wolastoq (Saint John River), 35 Kilometers from Fredericton, New Brunswick lies the expansive 300-acre iconic living history museum, Kings Landing.

Kings Landing is home to nearly 100,000 artifacts and significant historical infrastructure including 70 nineteenth-century buildings, roads and an operating sewage and water system with a mission to create, maintain and operate an iconic, authentic living history museum that will attract, engage, enrich and educate the people of New Brunswick and visitors by showcasing the well-researched adaptation by people who lived along the Saint John River through the 19th century.

Kings Landing is focused on providing visitors with an interactive experience and invites guests to roll up their sleeves and put their twenty-first century lives behind them for a few hours.

As important as is the historical significance of this heritage site, so too is the economic impact it has on the region and its citizens.

Open to the public from June to October for visitation and year-round for special occasions and events, Kings Landing facilitates education, fun, and lifelong memories for all of its visitors.

As it prepares for the exciting celebration of its upcoming 50th anniversary, and in alignment with the Department of Tourism, Heritage and Culture's "the Invitation" strategy to make the province as a top Canadian tourism destination, Kings Landing is searching for its next
