Haig-Brown Heritage House, in Campbell River, British Columbia, is a historic family that sits on the banks of the Campbell River and is surrounded by tranquil gardens. During the summer months, the Haig-Brown House offers unique BED & BREAKFAST accommodation and the garden can be rented for weddings, receptions and other special events. In winter, the House provides temporary accommodation for a Writer In Residence, through a program operated by the Campbell River Museum. Built in 1923, the farmhouse is the former of Roderick Haig-Brown, a well known conservationist, writer and magistrate, and Ann Haig-Brown. The Museum at Campbell River has responsibility for the overall operations of the Haig-Brown House heritage site.
