Fredericton’s HistoryOur 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, 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

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 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, 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.

City Hall, Clockworks & Bicentennial Tapestries(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 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 aff ectionately 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 to Canadian Thanksgiving. See hours on Page 13 of this guide. Scheduled tours of the Tapestries are available May 23 (Victoria Day) until October 10 (Thanksgiving): English tours daily at 3:30pm; French tours daily at 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 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 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, A Day in a Soldier’s Life, 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.

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 remodeled to house law

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.

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 time (LAST), this diff ers 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, 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.

English and French tours available July & August between the hours of 10am – 6pm, daily. 506-460-2129

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.

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 Lighthouse has been re-invented as Fredericton’s only local craft beer garden and BBQ pit restaurant. Serving great local draught beer and locally produced meat on the open air BBQ. It is an experience not to be missed!

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.

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 fi rst stretches from the Delta Hotel to Smythe St., through the area originally settled as St. Anne’s Point.

The section from Smythe St. to Lighthouse on The Green, 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 fi nal segment, stretching from Morell Park, past the Loyalist Cemetery to the Princess Margaret Bridge, is known as the Salamanca Trail.

Regent Street Wharf

The Regent Street Wharf off ers a variety of services to visitors arriving in the capital by boat. Including a visitor dock with secure access, dumping station, electrical hook-ups to 30 Amps, and water. A Port Warden is on duty daily during June, July & August, and on weekends in May & September.

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

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

Fredericton BoyceFarmers 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.

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 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 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-identifi ed by researchers and deemed to be a valuable fi nd 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.

St. Dunstan’s Church(120 Regent St.)

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 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

The Old Public Burial Ground(500 Brunswick St.)

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 fi nal resting place for many of the Loyalist families who founded New Brunswick, as well as its fi rst clergy, judges, and government offi cials. 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.

St. Paul’s United Church(224 York St.)

National Historic Site

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 fi rst worship service was held and in 1832, the church was incorporated.

When St. Paul’s celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 1882, plans were under way 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 eff ect and St. Paul’s became a United Church of Canada.

The character-defi ning elements 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

From St. Paul’s United Church, cross York Street and continue on George Street until Westmorland Street. St. Anne’s Chapel of Ease is on the corner of George and Westmorland Streets.

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. 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 fi re in 1882.

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 tower with a spire that extends a further eight feet and 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. Anne’s Chapelof 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.

Tours are available July 4 to August 31; Monday to Friday from 9am – 4pm. Also throughout July enjoy our

About the building

Bishop 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-gate

The 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.

Follow York St. toward the river, cross Queen St. and you’re back where you started your walking tour – at City Hall. But don’t leave town yet! The following pages of this book are fi lled with more historic, educational and recreational points of interest in Fredericton.

Open to the public regularly, Government House is a museum, gallery, heritage site and community resource. It off ers restored staterooms with historic furnishing, a modern gallery space, meeting rooms and an interpretive centre – all on 11 acres, overlooking the majestic Saint John River.

It hosts some of the most prestigious events in New Brunswick: honours and awards for excellence, medal presentations, volunteer recognitions, concerts, lectures, and events related to the Lieutenant-Governor’s public priorities. Many public events are held annually.

About the building

This important National and Provincial Historic site served as the offi cial residence for 14 of New Brunswick’s Lieutenant Governors, until closing in 1894. During the years leading up to Confederation, Government House was “centre-stage” for the frustrations, fears, and intrigues, which culminated in the union of British North America. It was here that Lieutenant Governor, Sir Arthur Hamilton Gordon, worked with pro-confederation

The park boasts immaculate lawns, walking trails (perimeter groomed in the winter for cross country skiing), lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, lawn bowling, Stepping Stone Senior Centre, a gazebo, children’s playground, sun shelter, and is a perfect spot for a picnic. The new Wilmot Park Outdoor Aquatic Facility is being constructed and is expected to open late summer 2016.

The title deed of the 12-acre park was originally given to City Council in 1895, by Loyalist descendant, Edward Wilmot, as a gift for “the commonality of Fredericton.”

Years before, in 1860, there was a “rush to ready the Pleasure Ground,” as it was fi ttingly named by the citizens, for the long-awaited arrival of His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, who was the fi rst visit of a “kingly personage” upon the shores of New Brunswick.

Boss Gibson’s Marysville(8 River St.)

National Historic District

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 big 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 profi tably 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 offi ces.

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.

Retrace your steps back down Canada and Gibson Sts. At the intersection of Gibson and Union, you can turn right and head back downtown. Proceed to the next set of traffi c lights. Turn left at the lights and this will take you back to the Westmorland St. Bridge and downtown Fredericton.
