Travelling to the small town of Marysville on the outskirts of Fredericton is like stepping back in time. This is a perfectly preserved 19th century industrial company town with workers' tenement houses and the original cotton mill all perfectly in tact. Many of the people living in the red-bricked houses are in fact direct descendants of original mill workers. Their tales bring to life a rich history of early New Brunswick life and one man, Alexander “Boss” Gibson, who single handedly built Marysville between 1862 and 1908.
