History runs deep in the capital city of St. John’s, where people have been living since the 1620s. Today, the lively city that grew up around its perfect sheltered harbour continues to thrive. Outside St. John’s, life is a little quieter. Conception Bay is filled to the brim with older fishing towns, where Old World traditions still hold sway. Brigus is a beautiful seaside settlement dating back to the early 1600s. Its most famous son, Captain Bob Bartlett, went north with Admiral Peary almost a century ago. Bartlett’s house is a National Historic Site. Ferryland, located in the Irish heart of Newfoundland, is where Lord Baltimore’s early 17th-century colony is gradually being uncovered in the most advanced archaeological dig in the province.
