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.

Welcome to Fredericton!

On behalf of my Council colleagues and the citizens of Fredericton, I take pride in welcoming you to New Brunswick’s Capital City. Whether you are visiting friends or family, attending a convention, or touring our scenic countryside, I am sure you will appreciate our many historical attractions, fine craft and cultural exhibits, and special Maritime hospitality.

I encourage you to drop by the Visitor Information Centre at City Hall for a guided tour of Council Chambers, where you will find “The History of Fredericton” articulated in a series of colourful, uniquely woven tapestries. Our tourism staff will be most pleased to provide you with additional information to help you get the most from your visit.

Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable stay in Fredericton, and a safe return home.

Mike O’Brien Mayor

Our Historic Past Our City of Stately Elms owes its life to the mighty Saint John River. The earliest travellers on the great river were the Maliseet and Mi’kmaq who hunted, fished, 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 fled 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.

14

In 1783, United Empire Loyalists settled in St. Anne’s Point after the American Revolution.

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 officially incorporated by the provincial legislature on March 30, 1848.

Meanwhile, Fredericton’s first inhabitants were established in a permanent Maliseet settlement now known as the St. Mary’s Reserve on the north side of the Saint 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 Fredericton amalgamated a number of surrounding communities, doubling its area and population.

In 2018, Fredericton is celebrating its 170th anniversary of incorporation.

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.

Attractions #2 through #10 form the Historic Garrison District.

1 City Hall, Clockworks & Bicentennial Tapestries

Barracks Square

(397 Queen St.) National Historic Site

Located 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 Duffie 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 building The old City Hall, which was erected in Phoenix Square in 1876, once included the city office, council chamber, magistrate’s office, 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. 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. 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.

A Visitor Information Centre, in the front lobby, is open daily mid–May through to Canadian Thanksgiving. See hours on Page 15 of this guide. Scheduled tours of the Tapestries are available May 21 (Victoria Day) until October 8 (Canadian Thanksgiving): English tours daily

(497 Queen St.) National Historic Site

Set 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 first 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 find a variety of attractions and activities in the Historic Garrison District including the Changing of the Guard, tours, concerts, and live theatre.

2 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, now known as the Justice Building, in the Annex (the back, east entrance). This museum contains a collection of artifacts, archival material, books and furniture used in the public schools,

Free admission. 506-459-3738; sdmuseum@nb.sympatico.ca, museum.nbta.ca 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 fire in 1929, but was rebuilt on the same site. The original annex and front entrance pillars survived the fire 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 remodeled to house law courts and reopened as the Justice Building in 1975.

The College offers a range of programs from traditional craft studios to contemporary digital design. The College is proud of its Aboriginal Visual Arts program that educates students in the history and traditional crafts of the Wolastoqey, Mi’kmaq and Passamaquoddy First Nations Cultures in Atlantic Canada.

A learner-centred creative community with small class sizes and internationally recognized faculty, The College graduates students who are equipped to contribute to the broader cultural economy.

Beyond the academic year, the College studios are also home to culture and craft workshops delivered as part of the

A little further down, the old Soldiers’ Barracks sits almost on the corner of Carleton St., with its back to Queen St. In 2017, Carleton Street was re-designed as a shared street. The first in the city, this newly constructed public space will be host to many events this season including the new Garrison Night Market.

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.

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

HISTORIC GARRISON DISTRICT time (LAST), this differs by up to 16 minutes from local mean solar time (LMST).

The lower level of the Barracks houses several shops where students and recent graduates of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design create and sell their wares.

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

5 The Guard House (15 Carleton St.)

To find 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 first occupied by the 1st Battalion of the Rifle Brigade. A disastrous fire 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 modified 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.

36

English and French tours available July & August between the hours of 10am-5pm.

6 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 Office 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.

Tours are unavailable. Visitor Information Centre year round, Monday to Friday 8:30am – 4:30pm.

506-460-2041; 1-888-888-4768.

As you cross the street to the library, you will notice the riverfront pedway. This pedway was officially named the “The 104th Regiment of Foot Bridge” in 2013. The walkway, also accessible by bicycle or wheelchair, links downtown Fredericton and the Historic Garrison District with the riverfront and trails, commonly known as The Green.

Near the pedway you will also find two public art pieces:

8 NB Sports Hall of Fame (503 Queen St.) Rendez-vous Catherine Leva, France This sculpture made of New Brunswick basalt and granite was gifted by the New Brunswick Medical Society in celebration of its 150th anniversary. It was created during the 2016 New Brunswick International Sculpture Symposium in Saint John and is located on the waterfront next to the south side trail close to the Westmorland Street bridge.

Located at the corner of Queen and Carleton, The New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame preserves and celebrates our sports heritage to inspire greatness. We “honour our best and inspire the rest”.

About the building The building is an example of the 19th century influence of Second Empire style, and historically, located within the original British Military Compound. Opened in 1881 as a Post Office and Customs House, it’s been the home of the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame since 1976.

About the building The Officers’ Quarters building, with its stone arches, iron handrails and staircase (typical of the Colonial Period) faces the old Parade Square. It originally served as the quarters for the British Officers stationed in Fredericton.

The original structure (circa 1786) was made of wood but it was gradually rebuilt with stone. The current structure was completed in 1853. In 1883, Fredericton was honoured to be chosen for the establishment of the first permanent and oldest Canadian military unit, the Royal Canadian Regiment.

The Lighthouse

(617 Regent St., Regent Street Wharf) The Lighthouse, situated on The Green in downtown Fredericton, has been a landmark since 1989. The Lighthouse has been reinvented as a beer garden and restaurant.

It also offers a great selection of ice cream.

At one time, there were over 30 lighthouses along the Saint 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 city.

Officers’ Square

(575 Queen St.) Named one of the Top 10 Public Spaces in Canada (2012) and a Provincial Heritage Place Directly in front of the Fredericton Region Museum sits Officers’ Square, one of the city’s most unique and historic areas. It was a centre of military activity when Fredericton was garrisoned by the British Army from 1785 to 1869, and by the Canadian Army from 1883 to 1914. During July and August, it is the site for outdoor summer concerts, the Changing of the Guard Ceremony, daily outdoor theatre, outdoor films, and a variety of festivals and events throughout the year.

Beginning at the Delta Hotel, it stretches to the Princess Margaret Bridge, and boasts a spectacular view. The pathway is divided into

four sections. The first stretches from the Delta Hotel to Smythe St., through the area originally settled as St. Anne’s Point.

The section from Smythe St. to the Lighthouse, was named Limpert Lane in October 1997, in honour of Fredericton Olympic Silver Medalist, Marianne Limpert.

The next section, from the Lighthouse to Morell Park at the lower end of Waterloo Row, is the original “Green”. The final segment, stretching from Morell Park, past the Loyalist Cemetery to the Princess Margaret Bridge, is known as the Salamanca Trail.

506-458-2028; beaverbrookartgallery.org The Beaverbrook Legacy Lord Beaverbrook (1879 – 1964) born William Maxwell Aitken, was raised in Newcastle, (now Miramichi) New Brunswick. In 1910, he went to England and allied himself with Andrew Bonar Law 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.

19 Christ Church Cathedral (168 Church St.) National Historic Site

Just up Church St. from Gallery 78 is Christ Church Cathedral, considered to be the first

Cathedral in North America (1845 – 1853) to adhere to the exacting standards of the mid-19th century Gothic Revival in church architecture.

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 Butterfield, 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, first Bishop of Fredericton under whose auspices it was built. His exquisite cenotaph is at the east end of the cathedral, surrounded by the many fine examples of woodworking and stained glass art that add depth and character to this awesome structure.

Although not on public display, the Cathedral also contains the letters patent of Queen Victoria, appointing the Rev. John Medley as Bishop of Fredericton, and constituting the Town of Fredericton to be a city. It also possesses a Royal Bible, which was presented

by Albert, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII).

ethnic foods; a treasure-trove of art, crafts, jewellery, and flowers.

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 over 217 stalls and outdoor vendors.

the cathedral and Episcopal Seat of the diocese – the first Roman Catholic Cathedral built in the new Diocese of New Brunswick.

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 Crucifixion”, a consecration gift to Bishop Dollard from his friends in Quebec, still hangs there too.

Visitors are welcome to visit the church on their own. The church is open daily.

The Old Public Burial Ground (500 Brunswick St.)

St. Dunstan’s Church (120 Regent St.)

Father Michael Sweeney, from the Diocese of Quebec, was the first 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

From St. Dunstan’s, cross Regent St. at the corner of Brunswick St. In the Old Town Platt, is one of the most historically important cemeteries in New Brunswick. The Old Public Burial Ground is the final resting place for many of the Loyalist families who founded New Brunswick, as well as its first clergy, judges, and government officials. It has graves dating back to 1787. They lie with the families of the English governors, members of the British regiments stationed in Fredericton, and the early settlers from the British Isles from whom many Frederictonians are descended.

This cemetery was used for more than 100 years. A detailed map of the cemetery is on display. Open to the public from 8am – 8pm daily.

Wilmot United Church (473 King St.) Provincial Historic Site

A group of Scottish soldiers, all Loyalists, formed the Fredericton Methodist Society in 1791. The congregation outgrew one chapel, lost another by fire, 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 first native–born New Brunswicker to be named the Lieutenant Governor of NB. Among the church’s stained glass windows is one by the William Morris Studio installed in 1913, and in recent years re-identified by researchers and deemed to be a valuable find in Canada. The church’s décor was planned in 1948 by famous Canadian artist, the late Alex Colville. Wilmot’s pipe organ is opus 2049 of Casavant Frères, dedicated in 1951, and restored in 2000-2001.

Brunswick Street Baptist Church (161 York St.)

This congregation is descended from the 13 members who organized the first Baptist Church in the area on January 1, 1814. By 1840, the congregation had grown large enough to need a new church. That wooden structure built on this site and dedicated in 1840, was destroyed by fire in 1882.

That same year, the congregation laid the cornerstone of the fine Neo-Gothic church that stands today. Built of purple-blue freestone quarried in New Brunswick, it boasts a beautiful tracery window over the main entrance. The Gothic decoration of the semicircular sanctuary and balcony is bathed in the glow of several stained-glass windows.

St. Paul’s United Church

St. Anne’s Chapel of Ease

The history of St. Paul’s United Church begins in 1829 when a public meeting was held to discuss the building of a Presbyterian Church in Fredericton. In 1830 the first worship service was held and in 1832, the church was incorporated.

When St. Paul’s celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 1882, plans were underway for a new building.

Four years later, on January 10, 1886, the new St. Paul’s was dedicated and is the church building used today.

Although the union of Methodist, Congregational and Presbyterian churches had been discussed since 1912, it was not until 1925 that the Act of Union came into effect and St. Paul’s became a United Church of Canada.

The character-defining elements of the church are its architectural style – High Victorian Gothic with soaring corner tower and tall spire, its stonework (random limestone walling and dressed sandstone to form quoins, window and door surrounds, copings, and band courses), copper roof and stained glass windows.

The three-keyboard organ was installed in 1947 and dedicated to the memory of the men and women lost in two World Wars. The sanctuary also displays rich woodwork and decorative painting.

Completed in 1847, this Anglican Chapel is said to be the finest gothic revival church of its size in North America. It was built by New Brunswick’s first Anglican Bishop - John Medley - to fulfil the need of a place of worship until Christ Church Cathedral was completed. Based on 13th century churches in Cambridgeshire and Yorkshire England, St. Anne’s is a product of the Gothic revival vision of Bishop John Medley and his English architect Frank Wills. St. Anne’s became a model for nearly 100 other churches Bishop Medley commissioned from the mid to late 1800’s in New Brunswick.

St. Anne’s was home to Fredericton’s early elite, as well as the poor, as all seats were free.

Plaques honoring Fredericton’s soldiers and war heroes can be found throughout.

The open rafters and pointed arches lead your eyes and thoughts upward while the walls, floor, pews and windows are covered in intricate symbols proclaiming the Christian faith. 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.

The three bells positioned 64 feet in the air were cast by The Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London, England, the largest weighing 532 pounds. The low stone wall that surrounds the chapel is interrupted by a lych-gate. These roofed structures, which date back to sixteenthcentury England, were designed to protect the coffin from inclement weather during funeral services. This particular gate is believed to be one of only a few such gates remaining in North America.

1 The Station (380 York St.) This 1923 heritage property was once a bustling train station that was a major hub for transportation in the Maritimes. After service was discontinued in 1993, the structure fell into major disrepair. It was decided that the building would be refurbished into a state-ofthe-art event space with an adjoining liquor store. The renovation was completed in 2011 and ‘The Station’ officially opened. Though the building has been heavily renovated, it still carries the charm of its earlier years, lined with photographs of the original structure. The Station is host to “Saturday Sips”, a free wine tasting event that takes place every Saturday from 11am-3pm.

National and Provincial Historic Site Built in 1828, ‘New Brunswick’s Ceremonial Home’ is a place of history, culture, art and excellence. It is the Official Residence and place of work for New Brunswick’s Lieutenant Governor. Open to the public, Government House is a living museum, gallery, tourist attraction, heritage site and community resource. Its restored staterooms and public areas feature period furnishings and artifacts, a modern gallery space, meeting rooms, an interpretive centre and gardens – all on 11 acres overlooking the majestic Saint John River.

About the building This important National and Provincial Historic site is the Official Residence and Office of New Brunswick’s Lieutenant Governor. For 190 years, Government House has been centrestage for the discussions, frustrations, and intrigue which culminated in the Dominion of Canada. This important historic and cultural site was opened in 1828 after a devastating fire in 1825 destroyed a quarter of New Brunswick woodlands. It played a large role in the social and political life of Fredericton. After its closure in 1894, the building served as a school, military barracks, hospital, and home to the RCMP in NB until 1988. It was completely restored and re-opened in 1999 and has since welcomed thousands of visitors annually.

Constructed by the Loyalists, it also has links to Francophone culture, as the site of the first French settlement in the area in 1700, and is held in high regard by the First Nations, with a sacred Maliseet burial ground just steps away.

4 Odell Park

(350 Rockwood Ave.) Eastern Canada’s Best Old Growth Forest Odell Park is a 333 acre year-round park located in the heart of Fredericton. A recent Ecological Analysis identified rare and sensitive areas of the park. Highlighting these features are the 420 hemlock trees that are more than 400 years old! These woods are of special interest to people who enjoy nature, as they are a sample of the once widespread northern hardwood forest, that at one time stretched unbroken from the Saint John River Valley southwest to the Appalachian Mountains in New England. A number of endangered, threatened and rare species reside in the midst of this urban forest.

The multipurpose centre (Odell Lodge) was opened by the Queen Mother in 1967. The structure was originally built with a number of beams from St. Dunstan’s Roman Catholic Church. The lodge is available for public use.

There are 16 km of trails meandering their way through a diverse forest. When visiting the park start on the upper perimeter exploring the Fredericton Botanic Gardens, feed the ducks in the waterfowl pond, visit the children’s playground, or have a picnic in the BBQ area.

In the winter the park features an outdoor rink, sliding hill and groomed cross-country ski trails.

(8 River St.) National Historic District

Carleton Park (800 Union St.)

This 4.41 hectares (11 acres) of waterfront green space offers a spectacular view of Fredericton’s downtown and the most amazing sunsets. A public boat launch is accessible.

Benches and shelters make this a wonderful picnic site.

A Fort Nashwaak (NAXOAT) monument can be viewed in the grass to the left of the entrance, describing the history of the Fort erected in 1692.

Carleton Park is located on the city’s trail network, North Riverfront Trail, making it an ideal destination from the Lighthouse and across the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge. Originally in the old Village of Gibson, the park was developed after the Town of Devon was amalgamated with the City of Fredericton in 1945.

In 1888, the area was used as the site for unloading granite to build the first train bridge across the Saint John River in Fredericton.

Following the Gibson Fire in 1893, the area was used for 50 years by a succession of lumber mills. During the last quarter of the 19th Century, the site was also used as a railway yard.

Located beside the park is the Picaroons Roundhouse, a craft beer taproom.

As one of Canada’s best preserved examples of a 19th-century mill town, Marysville, just 10 km from the centre of Fredericton, was designated a National Historic District by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.

A brick cotton mill dominates Marysville, now a part of Fredericton. Its streets are lined with rows of brick workers’ tenements, elegant managers’ homes, stores, and churches. Here, 19th century industrial and social structures come to life. What began as a modest sawmill village on the Nashwaak River became a booming, prosperous town through the genius and foresight of Alexander ‘Boss’ Gibson.

The cotton mill operated profitably well into the 1940’s, essentially employing most of the town’s population. However, the end of the war brought foreign competition and the mill was forced to close in the 1970’s. The Cotton Mill was designated a National Historic Site in 1986 and now houses Government of New Brunswick offices.

Looking for more information? Visit the permanent display called “The Boss’s World” at the Fredericton Region Museum. You can also visit a monument located at the North end of the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge.
