c. 1838 CAMPBELL CARRIAGE FACTORY Built as a tannery then converted to a carriage factory in 1855 by the Campbell family and operated until 1949. Donated by George Campbell and Sons Ltd. to the Tantramar Heritage Trust in 1998 and restored by the Trust in 1999. The factory is an outstanding example of 19th century manufacturing. Annual production included 30 to 40 wheeled vehicles, 15 to 20 sleighs, a variety of furniture, tools and other items including coffins. The site is now a museum dedicated to "The Horse Era of Tantramar." Marker placed by Town of Sackville, in 2000.	CAMPBELL CARRIAGE FACTORY First operated as a tannery, this 1838 factory produced carriages and caskets for close to 100 years. With its collection of tools, patterns and work-in-progress, it is typical of a small, nineteenth century industrial site.
