O'Brien's Farm Plan in the Works

An open house this week to discuss the development of a master plan for O'Brien's Farm in St. John's. The area was established by the O'Brien family of Ireland nearly 200 years ago and is the last of what once was 35 farms that occupied the Freshwater Valley.


The provincial government acquired the property when Aly O'Brien passed away a few years ago. Government and the Newfoundland and Labrador Historic Sites Division are now developing a plan to preserve, protect and present what they call an important part of out local Irish and agricultural heritage.


The public is invited to an open house in the EB Foran Room at St. John's City Hall this Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. to view historic maps and information about the O'Brien Farm and to discuss ideas about how the farm can best be used to help the public understand and appreciate its historic significance

I always wondered what the story of this area was, its a kind of cool area (should be maintained or something done to it) and too bad its in a prime real estate area
