I love history. Where are good places to visit and make sure we see on our trip?

Hi Kacey,

You’re coming to the right place if history is what you’re in to!

There are a number of museums to check out - a great list to comb through can be found at the websites for the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation and Community Museum Association of PEI.

I can also let you know of a few gems that are very interesting to see.

The Cape Bear Lighthouse is located on the southeastern side of the Island. This location was the first land-based site to pick up the distress signal from the Titanic. Very cool interpretive area with an incredible view of the red sandstone cliffs in the area.

Also, while in Charlottetown, be sure to check out the Heritage Walking Tours. I highly recommend this tour as the guides are awesome and can give you some great info on what Charlottetown was like way back when. 

Hope this helps!

Al Douglas
