At Whitbourne, on Route 81 just south of Route 1 (the Trans-Canada Highway), is the home of a former Prime Minister of Newfoundland, Sir Robert Bond who was perhaps Newfoundland's greatest statesman. His reciprocity agreements with the United States to bring properity to Newfoundland were foiled by political opponents in the early 1900s, and were the forerunners of current international fisheries policy and international trade agreements.

You'll even find a winery in Markland. The Rodrigues Markland Cottage Winery makes popular wines from local blueberries (and other local berries) which is sold across Canada. The owners will show you around if you call ahead to view the winery, located in the former cottage hospital building.
