Sir Andrew MacPhail Homestead

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

This wonderful 1850s gable house is the birthplace of Sir Andrew MacPhail, celebrated local author, physician and soldier. The homestead is now a museum celebrating his life. Its beautiful grounds, with a nursery, vegetable garden and woods, are a delight to wander. It's a 29km drive east of Charlottetown.

In summer drop into the Veranda Cafe (noon to 3pm Tuesday to Friday) for refreshments. It's also open for Sunday brunch (11am to 2pm).
