Why only 3 stars? Some folks told us that there's really only 6 weeks of summer in Newfoundland, specifically in the July-August timeframe. We were here in June and although we actually set foot within the Historic Site and walked to the Point/Lighthouse, everything was all cold and fogged in. It reminded us of going to Denali (Alaska) a few years ago and being there on that day that you couldn't see the peak. If I ever visit St. John's again, this will be the first place I'll return to reclaim an previous missed opportunity. Maybe during the High Holidays would be nice during the Blowing of the Shofar at the sunrise or sunset?

It was conveniently about a 15 minute walk from the cruise ship dock.  Upon entering the Visitors center we were quickly greeted by a friendly staff member. They were able to quickly provide us with alot of useful information. They pointed out that some parts of the museum were free, and there was like 4 rooms that required a ticket. We decided to not get a ticket because we were on a limited time schedule. This is a must stop museum, you could spend hrs just admiring all the history and scenery inside and out. Make sure you go up to the observation decks as well. They do have conference rooms and a cafeteria. I will add more info later... @glampedlife

"Courthouse Building" is a National Historic Site of Canada. The original courthouse and jail was…read moremade of wood and built in 1730. The courthouse stood on this same location on Water Street for more than 100 years. Due to its age and condition Governor Thomas Cachrane approved for a new courthouse to be built in 1831. The second courthouse was two stories tall. The second story was used to accommodate public hangings which took place out of the second story window. During the next 70 years the courthouse burnt down twice ( 1846 & 1892 ) . The current courthouse was completed n 1904 and is an "Richardson Romanesque Revival" stone building. It was constructed entirely from local sandstone and granite. The architect involved in its design was Willian H. Greene and built by a Nova Scotian by the name Samual Manners Brookfield. The building is one of the only stone courthouses found in Newfoundland. The building at one time has housed the Supreme Court, jail, police court, law library, and judges chambers, and continues to be used as a court house today. Live/ Love/ Travel

In 1500, he was sent by King Manual I of Portugal to find a passage through the Northwest to Asia. In 1501 they reached Newfoundland; landed and took natives as slaves.

Yet here he stands next to the Parkway, across from the Confederation Building, with arms patiently folded across his chest. Joke was that he was standing there, silently waiting for the bus. I have not travelled on the local bus lately, but I see Gaspar still waits.
