Buccleuch Mansion

Buccleuch Mansion is a colonial-era residence in New Brunswick built with Georgian architectural design, featuring symmetrical lines, balanced proportions, and brick walls throughout. The two-story structure contains multiple sitting rooms, a dining area, and bedrooms arranged around a central hallway.

The mansion was constructed in 1739 by Anthony White as a home for his wife Elizabeth Morris and served as a private residence for decades. Ownership changed over time before the property was given to New Brunswick in 1911, where it opened to the public.

The home displays furnishings and objects left by the Scott family, who lived there throughout the 1800s and filled it with their everyday possessions. You can see how they arranged and used the rooms they occupied.

The property is typically open on Sundays, though other times can be arranged by request with the staff. Visitors should know that interior spaces have limited capacity because of the building's age, so visiting during quieter periods works better.

During the 1780s, prominent visitors including George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and John Hancock came to the house when Charles Stewart owned it. These high-profile visits connect the residence to key moments in early American history.
