Built HeritageIsland Lighthouses

As an Island, the sea has been an

integral part of the livelihood, visual

landscape and recreational life of

Islanders for centuries. Built to warn

ships of dangers at sea and as a beacon

leading safely to port, lighthouses

have been an essential nautical aid

here since 1845, when PEI’s first

lighthouse was built. Today, visitors

can see many of our 63 lighthouses

and tour lighthouse museums to

explore their critical role in our

maritime heritage, or simply enjoy

the beautiful vistas they create

along our coastline.

So well-loved is L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables, that she has had many

incarnations since being introduced in 1908. Montgomery

herself wrote nine Anne novels and two others in which

Anne makes an appearance. Montgomery’s original has been

adapted for the TV and film screen at least seven times. The newest TV version of

“Anne” stars Martin Sheen as Matthew. A Japanese animated TV series, and three sequels to

the original have been produced for Canadian television.

Anne of Green Gables presented by the Confederation Centre of the Arts is Canada’s longest-

running musical. Anne & Gilbert, an Anne stage

musical, is now presented at The Guild in Charlottetown.

Robert Harris -Artist

Born in 1849, Robert Harris would become famous for his portraits and is recognized as one of Canada’s great artists.

The Harris family, including his brother William, emigrated from Wales to Prince Edward Island.

Robert studied art in Europe and in Boston, returning to the Island in 1879. Though he would later live in Toronto and Montreal, Harris remains very much an Island artist, with portraits of

Islanders featuring significantly in his body of work. His painting,

Fathers of Confederation, has become an iconic Canadian image. Harris is buried in Charlottetown’s St. Peter’s

Cemetery. An extensive collection of his work is housed at the Confederation Centre Art

Gallery in Charlottetown.

Canada is born

In September 1864, delegates from PEI, Nova Scotia and

New Brunswick were meeting in Charlottetown to discuss

Maritime Union. Representatives from the province of Canada (Quebec & Ontario) arrived in Charlottetown to open a discussion on the the larger

possibility of creating a nation that would stretch from sea

to sea. When “The Fathers of Confederation” came ashore in rowboats no one was there to

greet them. A circus was in town and most Islanders were in the audience. Despite this less than

stellar beginning, consensus was reached to move forward with the concept of the new

“Canada”. For this reason, PEI is referred to as “The Birthplace

of Canada” and “The Cradle of Confederation”.

Festival/Event[74] Confederation Players Walking Tours130 Queen Street, Charlottetown

Born in Charlottetown in 1923, Milton Acorn was a carpenter who became one of Canada’s finest and most loved poets.

To his peers he was known as “The People’s Poet”, an artist who never lost touch with his

working-class background. Acorn remained an approachable and unique individual until his death in 1986. His poems such

as I Shout Love, and I’ve Tasted My Blood, and collections such

as Dig Up My Heart and In Love and Anger, give readers a taste of Acorn’s artistry. Milton Acorn’s poetry can be found at

The Railway

When the Dominion of Canada

decided to build its cross-country

railroad in 1871, PEI had not yet

joined Confederation. PEI determined

it would be beneficial to construct its

own railway. The financial obligation

brought by this Island railway

propelled PEI into joining the new

Dominion in 1873. Trains remained

active on PEI until December 31,

1989. The heritage of our railway can

be experienced through community

museums such as the Elmira Railway

Museum and former railway tracks

now make up the Confederation Trail.
