About the location
Fairbairn House Heritage Centre

One of Wakefield’s oldest dwellings, Fairbairn House was the home of Scottish settler William Fairbairn and his wife, Jean Wanless.


The house, built by William in the 1860s, now sits proudly on the east bank of the Gatineau River, a short walk from the centre of Wakefield village and not far from William Fairbairn’s original farm location. 


The house has an adventure-filled past, having been relocated twice. Threatened with demolition in 1993 to make way for a road approach to the new bridge over the Gatineau River, it was moved across Route 105 from its farm location by Andy Tommy.


In 2005, about to be torn down to provide space for condo housing, the house was rescued again with the assistance of the Municipality of La Pêche.


On September 1, 2012, following the tireless efforts of a dedicated team of volunteers led by Michael Cooper,the new Fairbairn House Heritage Centre first opened its doors to visitors.


With exhibits, programmes and an ongoing roster of special events, Fairbairn House has a renewed purpose, focussing on our unique history and enhancing the area’s potential as a recreo-touristic destination.
