Self-Guided Tour of Historic Wakefield

[audio transcript]

Welcome to our self-guided walking tour of Wakefield!


This tour relies heavily on local historian Norma Geggie's extensive research on Wakefield's history, most notably Wakefield and its People:Tours of the Village," (1990) and Wakefield Revisited (2003).


In recent years, Fairbairn House staff have developed 'in person' guided walking tours based on Norma's work as well as other resources. The virtual walking tour synthesizes this research with the rich images preserved in the Gatineau Valley Historical Society (GVHS) Image Bank.


We hope you enjoy your stroll through the village of Wakefield with our virtual tour guide, either while walking through town or by clicking through the stops from the comfort of your living room.
