The Saint John Jewish Historical Museum occupies a former synagogue built in 1904, itself a heritage building. The museum preserves the history of the city's Jewish community, which dates to the 1850s. Exhibits include religious artifacts, photographs, and documents that tell stories of immigration, business, and cultural life. Visitors can see a Torah scroll, Holocaust memorials, and rotating displays on local Jewish families. The museum offers a personal look at a vibrant but small community.
