Elmira offers the chance to experience what it was like to ‘ride the rails’ in Prince Edward Island with the miniature railway. Exhibits, including Atlantic Canada’s largest model train collection, recount the fascinating story of railroading on the Island and the recreated office and waiting room provide an opportunity to truly encounter the era of the railway. Visitors to Elmira are also invited to hike or bike along the Confederation Trail, a scenic route through Island woodlots and farmland that has been converted from abandoned rail lines.
CLOSED FOR THE SEASON Admission: Adult $4.00, Students $3.00, Family $11.00 with group rates available. Please call (902)357-7234 to confirm weekend availability in late September.
Contact Info: Provincial Heritage Planning The Province has contracted a local company, The IRIS Group, to lead the team that will undertake a comprehensive Island Heritage Study. The scope of the study includes a broad consideration of cultural and natural heritage, both tangible (such as artifacts,specimens, buildings, heritage sites and archival records); and intangible (such as folklore, oral history and customs). There will also be an emphasis on public consultation, with meetings held across the Island to give citizens, whether as individuals or on behalf of organizations, the opportunity to share their views on the Island’s heritage and its future. In addition, Islanders will have an opportunity to provide input in writing.
