Ardgowan National Historic Site was once the home of William Henry Pope, one of the Fathers of Confederation from Prince Edward Island. It is an example of a picturesque rural cottage from the Victorian era, and the house and grounds have been restored to the period. Visitors can experience the serenity of the restored Victorian grounds, enjoy a family picnic or take a leisurely stroll. The administrative offices for Parks Canada, Prince Edward Island, are located inside the house.
