Famous Frederictonians

“A great day in Fredericton for me... A walk along the St. John River trail with my wife Natalie, happy hour at The Lunar Rogue with a pint of Picaroons Irish Red beer, and then catch a Theatre New Brunswick show. There truly is no place like home!”

TONY LEPAGESINGER/ACTOR

ANNA SILK, ACTRESS,LOST GIRL

MATT STAIRS,FORMER MLB PLAYER

“FIRST STOP IS ALWAYS THE FREDERICTON BOYCE FARMERS MARKET FOR SAMOSAS AND FRESH ORANGE JUICE! FROM THERE I LOVE TO EXPLORE THE ARCHITECTURE AND ART OF DOWNTOWN, CATCH SOME GREAT OUTDOOR SUMMER THEATRE IN OFFICER’S SQUARE AND FINISH MY DAY WITH THE AMAZING FOOD AT THE SNOOTY FOX AND A LONG WALK ALONG THE ST. JOHN RIVER. IT’S MY FAVOURITE PLACE ON EARTH!”

NATALIE ROY,ACTRESS/AUTHOR

“Growing up in Fredericton was a real dream! Whenever I go back to visit I am always reminded of why it is such a gem. I always make a trip to the Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market for some of the best food you will eat and the friendliest people you will meet. Taking a walk along the river and on the walking bridge with friends is another part of being home for me. And of course visiting the campus where I went to school: St. Thomas University. I was married in Fredericton in April 2011 and the ceremony was in the beautiful Beaverbrook Art Gallery. Friends and family came from all over the world and for most of them it was their FIrst time visiting Fredericton. They still talk about its beauty, its charm, and its warmth.”

“I have played at many golf courses throughout my travels, and Kingswood Golf course is by far the nicest and friendliest course I have ever played at.”

Fredericton’s HistoryOur City of Stately Elms owes its life to the mighty St. John River. The earliest travellers on the great river were the Maliseet and Mi’kmaq who hunted, fi shed, and grew crops along their “Woolastook” river.

Off and on for over 100 years, the French and English fought for ownership of Nova Scotia, which included the area known today as the City of Fredericton. In 1732 the French Acadians fl ed British forces and travelled to the area where Government House stands today. They called their community St. Anne’s Point. By 1758 the British re-gained ownership of Nova Scotia and expelled the Acadians from St. Anne’s. Although the English swept through the area and chased out most of the French, they could not successfully settle St. Anne’s Point until 1768, as they encountered resistance from the Natives.

In 1783, United Empire Loyalists settled in St. Anne’s Point after the American Revolution. This year is regarded as the founding of the City of Fredericton. About 2,000 Loyalists settled in the area, including several army regiments. Surrounded by deep snow, bitter cold, canvas tents and a scarcity of supplies, many perished.

Surviving Loyalists petitioned Governor Parr in Halifax to make the area north of the Bay of Fundy a separate province. In the following year, New Brunswick became a separate colony from Nova Scotia and St. Anne’s Point became the provincial capital. The founding of King’s College in 1785 coincided with the renaming of the settlement to “Frederick’s Town”, in honour of the second son of King George III of the United

Kingdom. From this name came the present “Fredericton”.

The British Government was quick to approve the capital town and Fredericton became home to several military regiments. The Infantry School Corps (later the Royal Canadian Regiment) was born here in December, 1883. The Historic Garrison District downtown is a tribute to the army’s importance to early Fredericton.

In 1845, although the population was not technically large enough, Queen Victoria named Fredericton a Cathedral City and a crew went to work on the Cathedral, the spire of which still dominates the Fredericton skyline. This allowed Fredericton to achieve city status and the City was offi cially incorporated by the provincial legislature on March 30, 1848.

Meanwhile, Fredericton’s fi rst inhabitants were established in a permanent Maliseet settlement now known as the St. Mary’s Reserve on the north side of the St. John River in 1847.

Early Fredericton businesses included mills, a canoe factory, tanneries, carriage and wagon manufacturers, breweries and broom factories.

In the 20th century, the city’s industries gave way to universities, reinforcing Fredericton’s education and cultural centric feel. In 1945, Gibson (presently Devon) was amalgamated into the city. In 1973, the city celebrated their 125th anniversary of incorporation; Fredericton amalgamated a number of surrounding communities, doubling its area and population.

The people and the events that changed Fredericton from a settlement in the wilderness into the educational and administrative centre of New Brunswick have also shaped a unique cultural landscape. Along our tree-lined streets dwell gifted artists and artisans as well as brilliant scientists and engineers. They keep Fredericton the vibrant community it is.

HISTORIC GARRISON DISTRICT

City Hall, Clockworks & Bicentennial Tapestries(397 Queen St.)National Historic SiteLocated at the corner of Queen and York Sts., Fredericton’s City Hall is the oldest City Hall still in use in the Maritime Provinces. Visitors to the building can tour the Council Chamber to view the restored clockworks and a series of tapestries which are on

permanent display. (See below for tour times). Produced in 1985 to honour Fredericton’s 200th birthday as Capital, two local artists, Mrs. Gertrude Duffi e and Dr. Ivan H. Crowell, created 27 colourful tapestries depicting Fredericton’s history based on Dr. W. Austin Squires’ book “The Last 200 Years”.

About the buildingThe old City Hall, which was erected in Phoenix Square in 1876, once included the city offi ce, council chamber, magistrate’s offi ce, jail, farmers’ market and opera house. The tower clock, its eight-foot dials, copper hands and reliable chimes have been keeping downtown businesses and customers on time ever since. The fountain in front of City Hall was constructed in 1885. Freddy, “the little nude dude” as he is affectionately called, sits on top of the fountain. Look for the original Freddy, older than the Statue of Liberty, in City Hall. In 2013,

the fountain was restored to its original 3-tier design and surrounding Phoenix Square was re-designed to make for a more inviting place for our visitors and community to visit and enjoy.With the growing city, City Hall became crowded and plans were made for an addition. Architects carefully designed the addition to make it as compatible as possible with the original City Hall. Construction began in September 1975 and it was completed in 1977.

A Visitor Information Centre, in the front lobby, is open daily Mid–May through the end of October. See hours on Page 14 of this guide. Scheduled tours of the Tapestries are available May 19 (Victoria Day) until October 13 (Thanksgiving): English tours daily at 9:30am and 3:30pm; French tours daily at 9am and 3pm. By appointment for remainder of the year. Groups are asked to book ahead. 506-460-2129; TourismFredericton.ca

BARRACKS SQUARE(497 Queen St.)National Historic SiteSet back behind a wrought iron and stone fence, the Historic Garrison District originally consisted of the two-block area bounded by Queen, York, Campbell, and Regent Sts.

The fi rst buildings on this site were made of wood and later replaced by stone structures. The Historic Garrison District was declared a National Historic Site in 1964, and in 1965 was designated a protected Provincial Historic Site. Visitors will fi nd a variety of attractions and activities in the Historic Garrison District

including the Changing of the Guard, tours, concerts, artisans at work, gift shops, and live theatre.

The Justice Building(427 Queen St.)As you walk down Queen St., from City Hall, the Justice Building is on your left at the

corner of York St. Although there are no tours of the Justice Building itself, the annex to the building contains the ‘School Days’ Museum.

‘School Days’ Museum(427 Queen St.)Located in the former Teachers College. Access via the lower York St. parking lot. This museum contains a collection of artifacts, archival material, books and furniture used in the public schools, teacher training, and Department of Education in New Brunswick, dating as far back as the mid-19th century.

About the building In 1827, a 34 x 37 foot Military Hospital with four six-bed wards was constructed in stone on the site now partly occupied by the Justice Building. In 1875, the hospital and accessory building were removed to permit construction of the Provincial Normal School. That building was destroyed by fi re in 1929, but was rebuilt on the same site. The original annex and front entrance pillars survived the fi re and can still be seen today. The annex later housed the Model School which was an integral part of teacher training.

The building served as part of Fredericton High School from 1965 to 1970. It was

BARRACKS SQUAREremodeled to house law courts and reopened as the Justice Building in 1975.

BARRACKS SQUARE

Soldiers’ Barracks & The Barracks Fine Craft Shops(463 Queen St.)A little further down, the old Soldiers’ Barracks sits almost on the corner of Carleton St., with its back to Queen St.

The Soldiers’ Barracks is an 1827, three and a half storey stone structure built by the British Army to accommodate more than 200 British soldiers. Life was crowded – 19 soldiers to a room. They slept on iron beds, while wooden pegs and shelves held their belongings. A table and wooden benches were the only other furniture.

The 22nd Cheshire Regiment was stationed here from 1866 to 1869 and all ranks said they looked back on Fredericton as an ideal station. A bronze plaque honours the 104th Regiment. Remarkably, as reinforcements for the War of 1812, six of its companies made a 1,128 km, 52-day march to Quebec and then to Kingston, Ontario, between February and April of 1813, with no loss of men.

Don’t set your watch by the sundial outside the east wall of the Soldiers’ Barracks.

BARRACKS FINE CRAFT SHOP3

Although it is a faithful reconstruction of the original sundial which told the time to the citizens of Fredericton in the 19th and early 20th centuries and accurately displays local apparent solar time (LAST), this differs by up to 16 minutes from local mean solar time (LMST). The lower level of the Barracks houses several craft shops, where the artisans create and sell their wares.

English and French tours available from interpreters at the adjacent Guard House in July & August between the hours of 10am – 6pm, daily. 506-460-2129. The Barracks Fine Craft Shops located on the lower level of the building are open daily 10am – 5pm June to mid-September. 506-460-2837

The Guard House(15 Carleton St.)To fi nd the 1828 Guard House, turn left on Carleton St. The restored Orderly Room in the Guard House, with its nominal rolls and leave passes, looks much as it did in 1829 when it was fi rst occupied by the 1st Battalion of the Rifl e Brigade. A disastrous fi re destroyed the original Guard House, cells and 9 other buildings.

The Guard Room was home to the 12-man Main Guard. A private soldier in an infantry regiment of 1828 to 1869 could expect to be detailed for either Night Guard or Day Guard at least twice a month. When not pacing his beat, he was permitted to rest by reclining in his full kit on a Guard bed of hard planks, covered with a thin straw pallaise (mattress). The Guard Room looks as it did in 1866, when the 15th Regiment used the muskets, uniforms and equipment on display.

The cell block originally contained 7 cells – windowless stone and brick cubicles with an air-hole of about 10 inches diameter in the outer wall. In 1847, the cell block was modifi ed to contain 5 enlarged cells, barred windows and an escape-proof ventilation system. The cell block reveals conditions as they were in 1848.

Don’t miss the Fredericton Fencibles as they take to the porch of the Guard House with lively theatre and song, daily at 4:30pm during July & August.

Militia Arms Store(11 Carleton St.)Next to the Guard House, on Carleton St., is what used to be the Militia Arms Store. It is presently the Administration Offi ce for Fredericton Tourism. This is the only remaining wooden structure of the original 4 to be found in the Historic Garrison District. It was built in 1832 to house military weapons and ammunition for the Royal New Brunswick Regiment. In 1882, a rear addition renovated the building for use as a Military Hospital. It has also been used as a liquor warehouse, temperance hall, and caretaker’s residence for the adjacent armouries.

The Beaverbrook LegacyLord Beaverbrook (1879 – 1964) born William Maxwell

Aitken, was raised in Newcastle, (now Miramichi) New Brunswick. In 1910, he went to England and became the only Canadian to ever become Prime Minister of Great Britain. In 1916, Maxwell Aitken received the title of Lord Beaverbrook, complete with a coat of arms designed by Rudyard Kipling. Beaverbrook was Minister of Aircraft Production during World War II, held various political appointments, and he built a publishing empire based on the Daily Express newspaper. He is best remembered in New Brunswick for his many gifts to the province and to the University of New Brunswick (UNB). In 1954, the provincial Legislature declared him “a native son of New Brunswick”. His legacy to Fredericton includes the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, The Playhouse, the Lady Beaverbrook Rink, the Lady Beaverbrook Residence, the Lady Beaverbrook Gymnasium, and many other buildings on the UNB campus stand as a testament to him and his family.

The Lighthouse(617 Regent St., Regent Street Wharf)The Lighthouse, situated on The Green in downtown Fredericton, has been a landmark since 1989. It was built as a visitor area for the Pioneer Princess riverboat, a vessel that was operated by a local business man. The licensed deck of the Lighthouse is a perfect place to sample a seafood inspired menu and enjoy a refreshment, overlooking the beautiful St. John River. At one time, there were over 30 lighthouses along the St. John River. Now due to the buoy system of channel

marking, very few are needed, and those that are still required have been automated. The light at the top of the Lighthouse is fully functional and there is a viewing station at the top where you can take in breathtaking views of the beautiful City of Fredericton.

The Beaverbrook Art Gallery(703 Queen St.)“It may be that I am recalled chiefl y as the builder and founder of an art gallery. The labour of my age may prove more lasting than the strident achievements of youth or the aggressive toil of middle life … The eyes of youth, falling upon these walls, may draw from them an impulse to create and emulate.”

- Lord Beaverbrook

The quote is an excerpt from Lord Beaverbrook’s address at the offi cial opening of the

Beaverbrook Art Gallery on September 16, 1959. As the provincial art gallery of New Brunswick, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery presents a rotating schedule of contemporary and historical exhibitions that give focus to the art and visual culture of New Brunswick and the Atlantic region, as well as of Canada and Britain as refl ective of the particular nature and strengths of the permanent collection. The Gallery presents a wide spectrum of ideas, themes, and media within the visual arts, presenting the work of both established and emerging artists, and provides a forum

for the art of the province’s First Nations and Acadian communities. The Gallery also hosts exhibitions on loan from other institutions. Make 2014 your year to visit the Beaverbrook Art Gallery – check the Gallery website for special exhibitions and events. The Gallery and Gallery Shop are open year-round.

Modeled after the medieval parish church of St. Mary’s at Snettisham, England, built according to the express wishes of Bishop John Medley, and designed by Frank Wills and William Butterfi eld, the Cathedral was declared a National Historic Site in 1983.

The cathedral cornerstone was laid in 1845, construction was complete by 1853, and it was consecrated that year by Bishop John Medley, fi rst Bishop of Fredericton under whose auspices it was built. His exquisite cenotaph is at the east end of the cathedral, surrounded by the many fi ne examples of woodworking and stained glass art that add depth and character to this awesome structure.

Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market(665 George St.)The Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market fronts on George St. and the grounds stretch to Regent St. Open every Saturday morning, the market is the liveliest, most colourful spot in town! The Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market was named one of the ten best Farmers Markets in Canada (Canadian Geographic Traveller, 2009).

The Market is a cornucopia of meats, vegetables, baked goods, maple products and ethnic foods; a treasure-trove of art, crafts, jewellery, and fl owers.

The Market pre-dates the city’s founding. In 1785, residents petitioned the governor to create a townsite – a prerequisite for holding a market. The Market building was constructed in 1951. A bequest of $40,000 from the estate of Walter W. Boyce, a prominent local businessman, got the project off the ground. The York County Council paid the rest of the construction costs. The Market houses 217 stalls and outdoor vendors.

The British government made a donation to the church with the understanding that British soldiers stationed in Fredericton were to have seats in the church free of charge.

The building, erected in the mid–1840’s, was replaced in 1965 by the present modern structure. Two chapels honour The Sacred Heart of Jesus, and Mary, the Mother of Perpetual Help; its 14 stations of the cross are hand carved in linden wood. Bishop Dollard’s Episcopal chair occupies a place of honour at St. Dunstan’s, and a moving painting of “The Crucifi xion”, a consecration gift to Bishop Dollard from his friends in Quebec, still hangs there too.

Father Michael Sweeney, from the Diocese of Quebec, was the fi rst Roman Catholic missionary to Fredericton. He purchased property on Regent St. and built a small chapel in 1824. On September 30, 1842, the Diocese of New Brunswick was created and the Rt. Rev. William Dollard, V.G., was named its bishop by Pope Gregory XVI.

The small chapel was moved to the rear of the lot and used as a school and in 1845, Bishop Dollard began construction of a new St. Dunstan’s Church. Upon completion it became the cathedral and Episcopal Seat of the diocese – the fi rst Roman Catholic Cathedral built in the new Diocese of New

Wilmot United Church(473 King St.)Provincial Historic SiteA group of Scottish soldiers, all Loyalists, formed the Fredericton Methodist Society in 1791. The congregation outgrew one chapel, lost another by fi re, and built the church that stands today in 1852. It is one of the oldest buildings in regular use in the city, and the last of the great wooden churches, which dominated the skyline of 19th century Fredericton. From 1852 to 1974, a unique wooden hand, carved by Edward Charters, topped the tallest spire in Fredericton. The hand, designated in 2007 as a Fredericton Heritage Icon, is displayed in the sanctuary.

In 1925, the Fredericton Methodist Church entered the United Church of Canada and adopted the name ‘Wilmot’ in honour of its leading layman, Lemuel Allan Wilmot, the fi rst native–born New Brunswicker

Brunswick Street Baptist Church(161 York St.)This congregation is descended from the 13 members who organized the fi rst Baptist Church in the area on January 1, 1814.

That same year, the congregation laid the cornerstone of the fi ne Neo-Gothic church that stands today. Built of purple-blue freestone quarried in New Brunswick, it boasts a 60-foot

St. Anne’s Chapel of Ease(245 Westmorland St.)National Historic Site“A place of worship with free seats”.When Bishop John Medley came from England in 1845, he brought architect Frank Wills with him. He set this young man to work to design a church that would, in the Bishop’s words, “provide a place of worship with free seats for the poor and coloured people of the parish who lived on the outskirts of Fredericton”. Consecrated on March 18, 1847, St. Anne’s Chapel of Ease became Canada’s fi rst free church.

About the buildingBishop Medley believed that Gothic architecture and Christianity were inseparable, and that the chapel’s pointed-arch design and stonework were synonymous with morality. The sandstone on the Chapel exterior, the hardstone buttresses, and the trim came from New Brunswick; as did the butternut that was used for most of the interior woodwork. From almost 20 metres (64 feet) in the air, three bells have been calling people to worship for over a century and a half. The Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London, England cast these bells, the largest weighing 532 pounds. In 2010, St. Anne’s Chapel of Ease was added to Fredericton’s local Historic Places Register.

The Lych-gateThe low stone wall that surrounds the chapel is interrupted by a lych-gate. The word “lych” comes from an old English word meaning “corpse”. These roofed structures, which date back to sixteenth-century England, were designed to protect the coffi n from inclement weather during funeral services. This particular gate is believed to be one of only a few such gates remaining in North America.

ACCOMMODATIONS

To make it easier for you to choose where to stay while visiting in New Brunswick, we have two programs to monitor accommodations. The Canada Select Accommodations Rating Program and the NB Approved program. With Canada Select each property is rated on the range and quality of the physical facilities and services they offer. Providing cleanliness and state of repair standards are met, a rating between 1 to 5 stars is awarded. The star rating for each participating property is indicated after the property name. www.selectnb.com

The New Brunswick Approved program assures you that the property meets industry standards with no star system.
