Historic Stewart Farm

Sitting on the banks of the Nicomekl River in Elgin Heritage Park in South Surrey, the Historic Stewart Farm is as close as you'll get to experiencing the life of Surrey’s pioneers in 1894-1910. Listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places, this is the only completely intact farm unit from the late 19th century remaining in Surrey. And it’s no ordinary farmhouse, either. Few heritage homes of this age in the Lower Mainland boast such elaborate architectural details as the Stewart farmhouse. The grounds of the farmhouse are impressive as well. There’s a pole barn with farm implements; apple and pear trees; heritage gardens bursting with scarlet runner beans, roses, snapdragons, calendulas and sunflowers; there’s even an old Hadden crab boat – a relic from the oyster farming and crab fishing days of old. Drop into the farmhouse and be greeted by a costumed guide. Tour the house at your own pace and we recommend exploring the park afterwards. Guided tours are available at various times.
