Mariners Park Museum

South Marysburgh

Experience/Attraction, Arts, Cycling, Family Friendly, Pet Friendly

Mariners Park Museum explores the many ways the inhabitants of Prince Edward County have earned their living from the surrounding waters from fishing and ship building through ice harvesting and rum running.

The lighthouse relocated from False Duck Island beckons visitors to the site, where they can also see Fort Kente and enjoy a picnic in the park. Hundreds of shipwrecks have been located in the waters surrounding Prince Edward County and the Mariners Park Museum has become the home of many treasures retrieved during early diving expeditions.

May Long Weekend to Labour Day: Friday through Sunday, 10am-4pm
Fall and Winter: Closed

Admission by donation. Grounds are available for rental.
