Perth-Andover
Where People and Trails Meet

Upon closer inspection, you discover that Perth-Andover is located at the head of not one—not two—but three incredible trail systems.

The Appalachian, Trans-Canada and New Brunswick trail systems all converge in the village—enticing you to explore Waterfront Park on the river’s edge or cycle through old-growth forests—where an abundance of wildlife is always just a camera-click away.

Perth-Andover first sprang to life when the Maliseets formed one of the earliest known settlements along the St. John River.  By the end of the 18^th century, Loyalist English soldiers fell under its spell and settled Andover.  Across the river, Perth was settled by the Scots and by 1966, the two historic villages became one—Perth-Andover.

Today, the village, with its shingled storefronts and friendly shopkeepers, welcomes you to a place where modern life mingles gently with the traditions of the past. Open the door to the Rocking Horse.  As the shop bell announces your arrival, you’ll see a unique collection of locally made arts and crafts—including handmade birds-eye maple carvings and paintings by folk artists.

If the browsing and buying makes you hungry, York’s Restaurant has a table waiting, and a renowned menu that attracts people from across the region.  If it’s Saturday, then the Perth-Andover Farmers Market is the place to find the best of the woods and waters and some home-baked treats fresh from local kitchens.

In the evenings, a sunset glazes the river in gold and a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk is a blissful end to another peaceful day in the village.
