Museums
Wherever you stand on Prince Edward Island, you are standing on history. Though European settlers came here in the early 1700s, the ancestors of the Mi’kmaq arrived over 11,000 years ago.
In our provincial and community museums you can explore all aspects of our rich history. Whether you’re interested in planes, trains, automobiles, one-room schoolhouses, elegant mansions, Mi’kmaq culture, or the silver fox industry, our museums can bring the stories and the history of the Island to life.
