This property, as with so many in the area, once belonged to the estate of George Leonard who arrived in New Brunswick as a Loyalist with the spring fleet of 1783.
Although Mr. Leonard had been raised in Plymouth, Massachusetts and owned a home in Saint John, it was the Sussex Valley that ultimately captured his heart.
Leonard's character was colourful and he approached every interest with great passion. Contemporaries described him as one who was generous of spirit and worked hard at attracting settlers to Sussex by personally paying for the construction of roads and bridges within the valley. Throughout the years he was an integral part of the social fabric of the area... he brought people together... he was a builder.
Now, more than 200 years later, this project is symbolic of Mr. Leonard's vision... we are building... we are continuing to draw people to our community... we are bringing people together.
Leonard's Gate is going to make us a better place, just as George Leonard would have wanted.
