Haig-Brown House, on the banks of the Campbell River, preserves the heritage of a leading British Columbia family. The 1923 farmhouse is the former home of Roderick and Ann Haig-Brown, where Roderick wrote his world-renowned books and both led lives of service to their community.
Roderick Haig-Brown was an avid fly-fisher, a pioneering conservationist, an acclaimed author and a magistrate in Campbell River BC. His writing – 25 books and well over 200 articles and speeches – has influenced fisheries biologists, ecologists and countless others interested in the evolving relationship between people and nature.
Haig-Brown House offers unique BED & BREAKFAST accommodation. Three rooms, with views overlooking the tranquil grounds, are available for up to seven guests. The murmur of the Campbell, a Proclaimed BC Heritage River, can be heard from the rooms. The gardens that surround the house were planned and planted by the Haig-Browns, who deeply enjoyed their home throughout the seasons.
The house interior and furnishings reflect the character and modest lifestyle of the Haig-Browns, and in keeping with their environmental concerns and philosophies, local and organically grown food is used as much as possible. |
