Experience Orwell

Orwell Corner is excited to offer a variety of one of a kind experiences to visitors from May 1 - November 1.  Depending on the season, visitors can learn hands-on how to make their own bread and butter, the song and dance of Scottish settlers, or forge their own keepsake with a trained blacksmith (ages 16+).  Make the same carriage journey L.M. Montgomery made from Orwell Corner to Macphail's Homestead or listen to the trails of the Acadian Deportation.  

Experiences cost $39 - $60.  For more information, visit the Orwell Corner website or call (902)651-8515.
