Oppenheimer-Prager Museum at Dayspring

COVID-19 UPDATE: As of June 12, 2020 we will be encouraging visiting us by appointment in order to ensure we can monitor numbers. Contact the museum via phone or email to book your tour today! Dayspring is the largest home in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, New Brunswick, Canada. It was built in 1928 for Lewis Egerton Smoot, an American businessman from Washington. In 1947 Dayspring was sold to Algoma Steel, then owned by Sir James Dunn. Algoma transferred ownership to Sir James and he and his third wife, Marcia Anastasia Christoforides. In 1995 Dayspring was purchased by Vincent Prager, a lawyer from Montreal and the only son of Eva Prager O.C. and eldest grandson of Joseph Oppenheimer R.P. In 2011 when he donated it to The Joseph and Fanny Oppenheimer Foundation so that a Museum could be opened – the Oppenheimer-Prager Museum at Dayspring – to exhibit works by Joseph Oppenheimer and Eva Prager, as well as the estates history with the Dunn’s and Beaverbrooks

The only difficulty we had with this place was finding a place to park! In the end we parked at the hotel and walked over. We were greeted by the staff and while in the great hall, the former owner popped in to say a quick hello. Later the butler who worked there for 39 years was able to answer questions. We enjoyed the house and the art, would love to see more of the house.
