Covid-19 and the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation

Currently our three year-round sites: Beaconsfield Historic House, Eptek Arts & Culture Centre and the Acadian Museum of Prince Edward Island are all open to the public.  As outlined by the Provincial Public Health Office, certain public health measures are in place for the wellbeing of both staff and visitors.  

Visitors can expect the following:

• Staff will be wearing masks when interacting with the public.
• Hand sanitizer is available to the public at each site.
• Many sites feature directional arrows to guide visitors through our sites while maintaining social distance.
• Reception and cash areas are separated by plexiglass barriers.
• Payment terminals sanitized after each use.
• Public washrooms are sanitized on a regular basis.
• Commonly touched surfaces, both heritage and otherwise, are sanitized on a regular basis.
• Visitors will be asked to provide contact information for each visiting group. All contact information is kept confidential and is only used for health purposes.

Guests are welcome, but not required, to wear masks while visiting. These measures are for the safety of both staff and visitors.  We thank all visitors for their patience and support in helping the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation navigate these unique times.

Our online store continues to offer both mail delivery and curbside pickup options. We will also continue to share Island heritage and history via our social media platforms.
