Description: |
Fairholm is one of Canada's National Historic Sites and it would do well to begin by quoting the citation on the monument placed at Fairholm by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada on behalf of the Government of Canada. It reads:
This superb Picturesque villa is one of the finest homes built in pre-Confederation Canada. It was constructed about 1839 for politician and administrator T.H. Haviland Sr. (1795-1867). Basic to its design is the late 18th-century British taste for scenic composition of landscape and architecture. Here, the graceful bowed walls and extensive garden setting typical of the Picturesque style are wedded to the stately symmetry of classical design popular at the time in the Maritime Provinces. A rare example of early brick construction on the island, Fairholm retains much of its original interior.

| Driving Directions: |
Once upon a time is the beginning of many happy-ending stories. Ours is no different except you can be in it! Come to Olde Charlottetown, capitol of Prince Edward Island - Canada's Garden of the Gulf. Here you can take a step back into history, to a time when elegance was a way to live and time was for knowing the serenity of the garden or the enjoyment of having a neighbour to tea. Fairholm awaits to pamper you in the old way.
You might arrive on our Island by the magnificent Confederation Bridge from New Brunswick or by the charming Northumberland Ferry from Nova Scotia. You might arrive by air from Halifax, Toronto, Montreal or Boston. You might cycle or hike or sail. No matter how you get here you will be charmed by the patchwork quilt of the landscape - it's rolling green hills, red soil and stunning hedgerows with blue water always near. Your heart will be won by the tidy villages and neat farms where love of home is a description of the "Island Way" in action. And when you arrive in Charlottetown you will know why so many come to see Canada's Birthplace.
Fairholm Inn is located on the corner of Fitzroy and Prince Streets, just two blocks north of historic Province House, Prince Edward Island's Legislature. Of all the homes in Charlottetown Fairholm is considered the second most remarkable, next only to the Lieutenant Governor's mansion.
Later on our Website you can learn more about the history of Fairholm, but for now all you need to know is Fairholm Inn is the realization of a dream. We had the dream so that you could share it. |
