The North Cape Coastal Drive begins in Summerside and encompasses the western most area of PEI. Start your arts and heritage tour here. Experience our rich Celtic and Acadian roots as the sounds of bagpipes and fiddles, kitchen parties, and ceilidhs fill the air with the music of the Island.

Lucy MaudMontgomery

Born in Clifton (now New London), PEI in 1874, Lucy Maud Montgomery

would become one of Canadas most famous and cherished writers. With 20 novels and hundreds of poems in

print, it was Anne of Green Gables, her first published novel (1908), which put the author on the map. Montgomerys

imaginative and passionate redheaded orphan would become a

phenomenon, with over 50 million copies of the first Anne book sold worldwide. Though she died in Ontario in 1942, Mauds final resting place is at the

Cavendish Community Cemetery, here in her beloved PEI.

Samuel Holland

In 1764-65, surveyor Samuel Holland, on orders from the British Crown,

created the first truly modern, accurate map of Prince Edward

Island, dividing it into townships and counties, and designating

its county capitals, including the Provincial capital Charlottetown. His map has had an enormous impact on

the evolution of our Island, shaping its settlement, its patterns of land ownership, the familiar placenames

that dot our landscape, even our status as a province. In 2015, the 250th

anniversary of the completion of his survey, Hollands original map will be

coming home for the first time since its creation.

Robert Harris -Artist

Born in 1849, Robert Harris would become famous for his

portraits and is recognized as one of Canadas great artists. The Harris family, including his brother William (see page 41), 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 Charlottetowns St. Peters

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

Confederation Centre Art Gallery in Charlottetown.

Canadais 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 discuss 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.
