The South End Museum is worth a visit. Based in the old Seamen's Institute, it recalls the bygone days of the South End, a vibrant multicultural neighbourhood the growth of which had much to do with PE's then booming harbour. As a result of the Group Areas Act it was razed street by street in the 1960s, save for a handful or churches and mosques. Today, the area is full of pricey townhouses.
