Looking Deeper Into Saint John’s History

A New Approach
to Local Discovery
The Saint John Mystery Guild is built on a simple idea: that the history of a place is not always fully visible, and that meaningful discoveries can still be made through careful exploration, collaboration, and curiosity.
The Guild brings together community members, researchers, and independent thinkers to investigate the overlooked, the buried, and the unexplained aspects of Saint John’s past — using a combination of fieldwork, documentation, and shared inquiry.
As the Guild grows, its work is expanding into structured programs, public events, and larger initiatives such as the Mystery Summit, with the goal of creating lasting opportunities for discovery, participation, and cultural engagement.
- Field-based investigation and documentation
- Community participation and open collaboration
- Public programs, events, and shared findings

A Growing Community of Investigators
The Mystery Guild is built by a growing network of community members, researchers, and independent thinkers working together to explore Saint John’s hidden history.
What began as a simple idea has quickly evolved into an active and engaged community, contributing to investigations, research, and public programs across the city.
The Saint John Mystery Guild is the founding chapter and public-facing identity of
Mystery Guild Network Inc., a non-profit research and heritage organization
based in Saint John, New Brunswick.
