- Beaconsfield by Candlelight 2026 - Experience Beaconsfield Historic House as the sun goes down and the shadows grow long. Join us for an intimate visit that focuses on the more macabre side of Victorian life (and death). Hear local tales of 19th century true crime, meet the PEI Museum and Heritage Foundation's most haunted artifact, Wheelie, and peer into Beaconsfield Historic House's darkest corners.
- Guided House Tours - The exterior grounds can be roamed freely. To view the interior, you MUST take our guided tour – the interior of the house cannot be roamed freely. Guided House Tours are offered every 30 minutes in July & August, beginning at 9:30 AM; the final tour of the day begins at 4:00 PM.

- Speeder Car & Trolley - take a ride into the past along the original Elmira rail stop on our Speed Car & Trolley. Along the way, turn rail switches for the speeder car and trolley to change the direction you’re heading!
Did you know? Our Speeder Car is a piece of history itself! It was previously used as a service vehicle for CN railway as a maintenance vehicle. The onboard switches were used to move the rail, enabling the car to move on to different rail to change the direction of the train car.
