About Route 10
Route 10 is 144 kilometres long and runs from Fredericton to Sussex. The road goes northeast from the Fredericton suburb of Barker's Point to the village of Minto and is known as the Richibucto Road, then loops around Grand Lake through Chipman to Youngs Cove. Until 2001 this was the end of the highway, but with the opening of a new 4-laned section of the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 2), it now follows the old alignment of that highway from Youngs Cove to a junction with Route 1 in Sussex. While passing through Minto, Route 10 forms Pleasant Drive, and in Chipman, it forms parts of Bridge Street and Main Street. From Fredericton to Minto the Route goes through goes through Acadia Research Forest
The Acadia Research Forest (ARF) is located 20 km northeast of Fredericton, New Brunswick on Highway 10. Established in 1933, the ARF continues to operate as one of the oldest and longest-running research forests in Canada. The ARF contains some of the oldest documented forest research studies in Canada, including seedling experiments established in 1923, which the ARF maintains to this day. These ongoing studies represent a wealth of knowledge and a scientific legacy that continues through various new and innovative forms of research.
This is a very busy highway and caution should be exercised when crossing to the other side.
About this location
Johnville, NB. Johnville is a community in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. It is situated in Kent, a parish of Carleton County. In the mid-19th century, New Brunswick`s Catholic Bishop, John Sweeney, lobbied the colonial government for land for Irish emigrants. In the early-to-mid 1860s, people began to move to the land granted to Johnville. (Maps indicate that some of the land in the area had been allocated to individuals prior to the establishment of the settlement.) Some residents came from Saint John, while others moved directly from Ireland. For some people, it was their first foray into farming. The Bishop, and successive Priests, worked alongside settlers to clear land, plant crops, and build dwellings. The Hall family built the first frame house, which was used as the church and rectory until the community erected these structures between 1867 and 1884. The real Klondike Kate, Katherine Ryan was from Johnville and went west to escape a bad romance.
