Macaulay Heritage Park
The home of the county museum in Picton, including the 1830s home of Reverend Macaulay and an old church, with exhibits on the history of Loyalist settlers.
Macaulay Heritage Park is on the east side of Picton. Its centerpiece is the Reverend Macaulay House, a Georgian-style residence completed in 1830 and furnished to its 1850s appearance, and the county museum, housed in the former St. Mary Magdalene Church. The museum tells the story of the Loyalists who settled Prince Edward County after the American Revolutionary War. The grounds also include a Victorian garden. Admission costs about 5 to 10 Canadian dollars. The park is open seasonally and is about a 10-minute walk from Picton's main street.
