Such a gem in PEI. Amazing staff and a great snapshot of PEI in the late 1800s.
Great family experience. Very knowledgeable staff. We went twice this summer.
Amazing history and artifacts, about early PEI shipbuilding that rivaled that of England. Also a one room schoolhouse and Yeo's residence open to tour.
My kids loved the schoolhouse and the tour of the big house was really interesting, the kids liked going all the way up to the top lookout.
This museum is not large but is packed with loads of interesting information on the local ship building. The scale and nature of the local ship building industry was truly surprising. The displays are well laid out out and present the information clearly. The staff where cheerful and knowledgeable.
The grounds include the historic home of the Yeo family. It has been restored to 1865 appearance and is well worth taking the time to tour. There are staff on the sight who will happily answer your questions.
