Historic Fairhaven

Founded in the 1890s, the Fairhaven district provides a great opportunity to stop and browse. Walk the cobblestone streets of the historic district, with restored nineteenth-century brick buildings now housing bookstores, boutiques and restaurants, and go back to a time when Fairhaven was predicted to become a major city.

A vibrant seasonal farmers’ market and the Alaska Ferry terminal are among the other attractions of this popular destination. For a traveler looking for a full-day side trip, passenger-only cruises for the San Juan Islands depart from the Fairhaven Cruise Terminal.
