The
village of Florenceville is located on
the banks of the St. John River, in Carleton
County in the Canadian province of New
Brunswick. The village has a population
of less than 800 people, but is the world
headquarters for McCain Foods Limited,
the largest producer of French fries in
the world. It also boasts a truly unique
free public art gallery. The Andrew and
Laura McCain Gallery is a non-profit,
community supported gallery that shows
about nine exhibitions a year of everything
from exhibitions on loan from the National
Gallery of Canada to the work of local
school children. Nestled on the banks
of the beautiful St. John River at 8 McCain
Street in the heart of the village, the
gallery is wheelchair accessible and open
five days a week, and until 8pm on Thursdays.
Past, current, and future shows can be
seen on the gallery website.
