PEHS has big plans for an event to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of WW2, VE Day. The event will take place in the Armoury in Picton on May 8-9, 2020.
Planned activities include:
It is not our intent to celebrate the war, but rather to commemorate the end of it, acknowledge the contributions of PEC groups and individuals, and to inform younger people about some not-so-long-ago history and to bring it back to life for them.
The trouble is: we don’t have a name for the event, yet. So, we need your suggestions! Please put your mind to what name we can use to advertise the event, to attract as many people as possible. Send your ideas to Peter Jepson (PEHS Special Projects) at jepjepjeppo@gmail.com. Thank you in advance!

Flashback February runs from February 16 – February 23. There are several exciting events to celebrate Prince Edward County heritage including an escape room at Macaulay House where artifacts and an understanding of county history can be used to escape. This year’s theme, “Spirits of our Past”, includes a paranormal show inspired by the Fox sisters of Consecon who performed seances in the 19th century. The public library has a free program inviting children to use quills, ink and parchment to write a letter to a historical figure and the “Making Waves Film Festival” has three documentary features with a Q&A with the filmmakers.
