Our province’s population also includes many other Indigenous peoples, such as Metis and Inuit, who have made PEI their home. Many people do not know the rich history and traditions of Indigenous peoples. Elders, ceremony, and family are the core of Indigenous cultures.

Our beautiful property was built in 1913 as the summer home for Broadway playwright Elmer Harris and family. In those days Fortune was an artists’ colony made up of Broadway and silent screen actors escaping the New York City summer heat. In later years, our Inn had other famous theatrical owners. Actress Colleen Dewhurst, famously known for her role as Marilla Cuthburt in Anne of Green Gables and her husband, Hollywood actor George C. Scott spent many summers enjoying the bounties and sights of this fair isle. In 1989 the Wilmer family took on a labour of love, transforming our unique property into a country inn.
