Welcome

Set along the northeast shore of Lake Ontario, Canada, Prince Edward County is a jewel with a rich history.

As you cycle, walk or drive through the towns and countryside you may wonder - who lives there or used to live there and what’s their life been like? What’s the story behind that schoolhouse, that barn, that woman in the parade, that cemetery, or this field? And what was it like for the earliest settlers? Perhaps you’ve heard bits and pieces about the Barley Days, the United Empire Loyalists, the canneries or rum running and you’d like to know more, lots more. And now, for the first time, you can, from the people who know first-hand.

Take a CountyQuest, a self-guided tour for an authentic and lively experience of the County as women and men of Prince Edward County share stories about their lives and events that have passed this way.
