General Tips: City Walking Tour
  • Tip Rating:
  • Fredericton - Honour Guard at City Hall
  • Honour Guard at City Hall
  • by Bwana_Brown
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: Take the walking tour of the downtown area (brochures are available at City Hall). Fredericton is a government/university city with a relatively small population of about 50,000, situated along the beautiful Saint John River (also known as the Rhine of America). It is steeped in tradition from the 1700's when Britain and France were fighting for control of North America. Consequently, there are several attractions related to military and local history dating from this period. Photo of some of the troops involved in the changing of the guard ceremony (in front of City Hall) held every daylight hour through the summer.

    General Tips: Highland Games
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Another regular event is the annual Highland Games, held at Government House on the Saint John River. This event commemorates the large influx of Scots immigrants to the Maritimes (eg. Nova Scotia is "New Scotland" where Gaelic is still spoken in some areas). Contestants from all across the Maritimes converge for Highland dancing, music and 'heavy lift' contests of strength. The Games were selected as a winner of the 2002 Attractions Canada Provincial Award, with the Games usually held at the end of July each year. Details at 'www.nbhighlandgames.com' Photos of some of the dance expositions with Government House (the original seat of British colonial government) in the background.

    General Tips: King's Landing Settlement
  • Tip Rating:
  • Fredericton - Water-Driven Sawmill
  • Water-Driven Sawmill
  • by Bwana_Brown
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: King's Landing Historical settlement is located outside Fredericton about 20 minutes to the west. This is a collection of period homes, the King's Inn pub, a water-driven sawmill and a sailboat from the 1700's, staffed through the summer with volunteers who re-inact life as it was at the time. This attraction was recently voted as the best in Canada, even in competition with the Calgary Stampede.
