- History & Culture travel tip
- City center
by Beaconsfield House was built in 1877 by a rich merchant. It was the fanciest house in the town and it is still the symbol of the Victorian elegance. It was renovated opened for the public in the 1970s, since then it works as a museum and home for lectures and other cultural events.
The rooms are furnished with authentic furniture and decoration and there is an amazing view to the harbor from the veranda and the flower garden.
The House, together with the other institutes working here, was awarded for the effort to preserve traditional Prince Edward Island heritage. It is really very elegant and gives a very special feeling. :)

A good tip is to start your visit with the waterfront home to the popular Peake's Wharf, an attractive touristy place where people gather in summer to check out its many boutiques and restaurants but aiming especially at tourists the place has little to do with local feel. Kent Street is a better choice for those who want to accompany them in their walk. You can also see the town from another [...]More travel tips you might be interested in
