Orwell Historic Sites & Interpretive Centres

This restored 140 acre homestead dates back to 1912. It is used as a local community centre with many arts oriented events. In the grounds there is bird watching, and nature trails with an emphasis on botany. There is a fully licensed restaurant.

A Provincial Heritage Site, Orwell Corner Historic Village opened in July of 1973. The small crossroads community was founded in the early nineteenth century by Scots that arrived on the Island with the Glenaladale Settlers brought out by Captain John MacDonald, as well as families that came from the Isle of Skye, County Monaghan in Ireland and United Empire Loyalists. Visit the blacksmith's shop, schoolhouse, general store, period houses and farm buildings. Open mid May to mid October.
