Fairfields Heritage House was home to five generations of the Bell family. As a museum this 19th century Gothic Revival farmhouse tells the story of almost 200 years of rich, local history. You are invited to explore the home to engage with the history of the Bell Family to learn more about how they shaped the area through farming, community involvement, law, and politics.

William Bell immigrated to Canada from Ireland and purchased this land in 1823. He ran a mixed farming endeavor that grew mostly wheat. The first construction on this land was a scooped roof log house that also served as an inn and tavern for travelers on Richmond Road.
According to census information, a stone farmhouse was built at some point between 1842 and 1851. Sadly, this original home was destroyed during the great Carleton fire of 1870. If you zoom in on the windows you can see that the walls are quite thick. Some of these exterior stone walls survived the fire. Fairfields, or Lakeview Farm, as it was originally named, was rebuilt in the Gothic Revival style in 1872, a popular architectural trend at the time.

Dick started a successful law firm with his friend Walter Baker in 1957. Later that same year he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Carleton County. Dick was elected three more times (and defeated once) before exiting politics in 1968. He spent one year in Prime Minister Diefenbaker’s cabinet as the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration. You can see Dick shaking hands with the former prime minister in the photo in the red frame.
