Orwell is a small, un-incorporated community in Queens County, in the heart of PEI, which retains the flavour and charm of bygone times. Visitors will get a sense of 19th century rural life. Participate in the age-old craft of candle making, or have a hand at ice cream making. Visit the general store or the PEI Agricultural Heritage Museum. From your picnic overlooking Orwell Bay, you may hear the clanging of a blacksmith at work, or the clonk-clonk of horseshoes along a rural lane. Other activities may include community theatre and music or storytelling on an eerie after-dark lantern walk.
Surround yourself with the mood, flavour, charm and activities of a small Prince Edward Island agricultural crossroads in the 1890’s.
