Summerside Interpretive Centre and PEI Fox Museum

The Summerside Interpretative Centre is located in the refurbished 1911 Armoury. Through a digital self-guided tour, visitors can view six different exhibits about the people, places, and stories of Summerside and Prince Edward Island. In the beautiful historic surroundings, each exhibit stands on its own, and the visitor is free to concentrate on what interests them on a given visit. Exhibits change on a rotational basis. The Summerside Interpretative Centre is about celebrating the rich heritage and personality of the place we call home. The PEI Fox Museum is located on the second level of the Interpretive Centre. Find out how our tribute to this fascinating industry of fox ranching, which had its international headquarters in Summerside, presents the legacy of a rare and amazing animal, the Silver Black Fox. Find out why the industry started here in Canada’s smallest province, how it grew, and why it declined to a faint shadow of its former self, and what it meant to PEI.
