Centre patrimonial de la Maison Fairbairn

Great place to bring kids! I was there with my 8-year-old niece while it was closed, we walked on the grounds, hiked up the trail to see the stream and then walked across the covered bridge that's close to the Centre. She told me she wants to go back and visit the inside of the house as well. We'll be back!

Stopped here out of the blue and was greeted with a surprising stop. Nice friendly staff. Even got to try their new escape room which was both charming and challenging. Would recommend to anyone stopping in wakefield!

Fun and fabulous historical place - offers regular live music nights, reinactments, a wonderful museum, a community garden, a barn also has a beautiful wooded area to venture in with a great seating area by a water fall and is in walking distance to the famous Wakefield Covered Bridge.This venue hosts many types of events for a very affordable cost - Festivals, Expos, Weddings, Family reunions, Birthday parties and much more.

Spontaneously decided to visit the outdoor area (it was closed during a lockdown when we visited this site) and my phone's battery had run out, but we went to check out the sweeping vista of the amphitheatre. We also hiked up the Fairburn Community Trails in the shady forest along Chemin du Vieux-Pont. It was a pleasant 5-star surprise on a lovely day at the other end of the covered bridge. Might go back to see the displays sometime.Edit: Went back yesterday for a winter visit and get some photos before we leave the region. Musicians, imagine the backdrop of the audience for a show on that stage! Nice spot just over the bridge; Top 5 Wakefield Attraction.

Beautiful, quiet museum. There are tables outside that are great for having a small picnic.There's also a short trail up behind the log cabin. Great place to get away from hustle and bustle of the city.

An interesting and well managed ability full of fascinating stories that do well to reflect the area. I particularly enjoyed the model railway. So much to take in my family and I will be back again this spring to visit.

A nice little historical spot in Wakefield. Not much to do in the winter months but it’s a great place in the summer for a picnic and an opportunity to hike and site see. The covered bridge is just across the street which is very cool and the views of the river are very pleasant.

There are a couple of pretty cool items on display. The old wooden stove was super cool.

Picturesque spot to explore. We appreciated that dogs on leash were welcome.

Lovely, clean and very informative spot. Parking for the covered bridge for Wakefield. Hiking trails and swimming below bridge. Outdoor portable washrooms. Nice spot to have a picnic lunch. Heritage buildings on site.
