The Bedeque Area Historical Museum preserves, protects, and displays the heritage of the Bedeque area and south-eastern Prince County, on Prince Edward Island.
The museum is housed in the old Callbeck general store, which served the wider area from 1899 to 1991. Spread over two floors, the museum displays many items and tells many stories relating to the social and cultural history of eastern Prince County, with exhibits on the indigenous Mi’kmaq, the Acadian, Loyalist, and Irish settlements of the area, on Callbeck’s store, on the Borden ferry service, and on many other topics.
We also function as the Island’s unofficial ‘clock museum’, with over 180 historic clocks on display spanning the period from 1770s to 1960.
We also maintain the 19th-century Lower Bedeque School, where famous Island author L.M. Montgomery taught.
