P.E.I.'s Local Roadside Car Museum

On my last day in Prince Edward Island, I was supposed to check out Fort Amherst, but before heading over there, I found out that the attraction was not open. I needed to find an alternative attraction in the south side of the island to kill some time before my flight back to Toronto later that evening. While feverishly looking through Google Maps, I found a car museum not too far from my location called the Car Life Museum, and it was on the way back to Charlottetown. It seemed interesting enough, and I like cars, so I thought I would check it out. The Car Life Museum is a family-owned museum featuring restored antique and classic cars by the family, as well as tractors and other farm equipment. The feature car is an old Cadillac DeVille once owned by Elvis Presley.

I Climbed Up PEI’s Tallest Lighthouse

The West Point Lighthouse is Prince Edward Island’s tallest lighthouse, sitting on the westernmost coast of the island. As part of my random driving around on the west side of the island, I drove to this isolated lighthouse, which was also an inn and a campground. It had been raining on the day I visited the lighthouse, so I had the lighthouse all to myself because there were no other tourists.

The Canadian Potato Museum - The Temple Of Tubers

One of the things that Prince Edward Island is known for is growing potatoes, and so it is not surprising that there is a Potato Museum on the island, in the village of O’Leary, dedicated to the spud. The potato is certainly one of my favourite vegetables, and so I went to check out the Canadian museum of its namesake.

The Bottle Houses Of Prince Edward Island

When I was in elementary school, I had one of those “Ripley’s Believe It or Not” books filled with interesting oddities from around the world. One such oddity was a house made of glass bottles in Prince Edward Island, and I always found it fascinating. I wondered if you could live in a house made of glass bottles. Fast forward to July 2025, where I got to go to Prince Edward Island. One of the things that I got to go see were The Bottle Houses and Gardens in the southwest corner of the island. The Bottle Houses are a set of three structures made of glass bottles built by Edouard Arsenault in the early 1980s. Bottles dotted the walls with mortar while the wood frames and shingled roofs supported the structures.
