In 1959, the YSM found permanent headquarters in the Officers' Quarters in the heart of downtown Fredericton. The YSHS and FRM remain a non-profit enterprise with a small paid staff and volunteers. They work to create informative exhibits based on the history of Fredericton and central New Brunswick, organize programs and publish a local history periodical. The FRM is the home of the famous Coleman Frog, the 42lb wonder that lived in the Killarney Lake over 100 years ago. The FRM is a gateway into the exciting history and diverse heritage of central New Brunswick where the provincial capital is located, and served as a meeting place for Aboriginals, Loyalists, Acadians, and other European settlers. With 12 galleries and a collection of over 30,000 artefacts the YSM is a great place to look into our past.
