Happy to return solid info for interested parties.<br />The Hibbard House" referenced above is on the Historical Walking Tour of St George, NB (#20) - was right across the street from my uncle & aunt.<br />Of direct importance, the Senator Gillmor House is (#12) on the tour and is still owned by Dan Gillmor and his wife - they have a gift shop there (the home is on Main St and is for sale, if a Hibbard or Gillmor family would like to preserve. The caption on the Senator Gillmor House reads: "8 Main St, Arthur Hill Gillmor (1824-1903) was a lumber baron and Senator of the Dominion of Canada. He had the house built for his wife, Hannah Dawes Howe from Bristol, ME, as a wedding gift circa 1846." <br />Walking Tours are available May thru Sep from the Tourist Bureau is: "The Tourist Bureau is now located at Granite Town Farms at 151 Brunswick Street and is open daily during the summer months from May to September 30.
