Kensington Railway Station National Historic Site of Canada

The Kensington Railway Station was built in 1905 by M.F. Schurman and Company to plans by architect C. B. Chappell. The railway station is rare because it is one of only two railway stations in Prince Edward Island built of fieldstones or boulders, the other being in Alberton.

The 1905 Kensington Railway Station was one the most elaborate stations in the province. The station is constructed of fieldstone from western Prince County, PEI and New Brunswick.

The Kensington Railway Station closed in 1969 following the end of passenger service. In recent years, the station has been used as a library, tourist information site, box office for the Indian River Festival, and to house a collection of railway memorabilia of the PEI Railway Heritage Association. Today the station is home to the Island Stone Pub.

St. Mary’s Church

Recommended by Mark

St. Mary’s is a relatively grand catholic church made from wood and was built between 1900 and 1902. It can be found near the Indian River and is quite hard to miss.

Its’ red roof and massive white spire distinguish it easily from the surrounding plains. On its white spire, there are many religious figures. The interior is also quite grand and can house many people. The church has yellow walls and a wooden roof reflecting the time it was built.
