The Faculty Players made their debut performance with Anatole France's "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife" in February 1921. They adopted their constitution on 21 April 1921, with a membership limited to academic and administrative staff of Queen's University and their families. In September 1953, the Players' executive passed a motion to include Royal Military College faculty and staff as eligible for membership. Dwindling membership led to the dissolution of the club in May 1974, some ten years after the production of their final play. The remaining assets were used to endow the Dr. William Angus Award, with the remainder donated to the Domino Theatre building fund.

The Fairfields were a well-known United Empire Loyalist family. William Fairfield, the first settler, chose the location of the Fairfield homestead near where Amherstview is today when he came to Canada from Vermont in 1784.William Senior was the father of six sons and six daughters, of whom three were born at the Fairfield homestead. Stephen Fairfield, the fifth son of William Senior, and his son and grandson were the only descendants who stayed on the original homestead. During the war of 1812, some interesting family ties provided correspondence between Major Brown of Brownsville, N.Y., husband of Clara, William Senior's youngest daughter, and brother of General Brown who commanded the American forces, and his Canadian in-laws. About 1840, Stephen, now "land-poor" and without Negro help, turned his house into a tavern run by tenants. With an increase in his personal fortune the old house was restored to its original use.

The Fairfield Homestead Heritage Association was formed in 1990, to ensure the preservation of the Fairfield Homstead, the house, associated collectionsof documents, furniture, and other artefacts, and the adjacent landscape for the study, education, and enjoyment of present and future generations; as well as to provide a variety of oppportunities for the discovery and appreciation of the heritage of the Kingston-Qunite region through interpretive, educational, and recreational programmes for the public.
