History

Breadalbane was incorporated as a village in 1991. The village was named after Breadalbane, Scotland. The town was important as a local centre in the late 19th century. Several mills operated there, and until recently a dam was still extant in the heart of the village.

Culture

Breadalbane is home to a thriving cultural scene. Artists, goat farmers, organic farmers, musicians, potters, weavers, biologists, maple syrup operators, motor cycle racers, gourmet chefs, folks camping out, and visitors far and wide partake in a variety of pagan events, solstice rituals, rum-dums, Jack Daniel's Fool Moon Toboggan Parties, Funk the Dunk gatherings, Wild Within cathartic moments, ravioli filling dinners, and merry-making of every imaginable kind on a regular basis. Bocce and horseshoe experts are commonplace as well as cross-country skiers and home-made wine makers. A great many of the locals have built their own houses. Good scotch seems to be a popular beverage, and Schulz Consciousness the preferred state of mind.

Breadalbane also has a community center and a library and was the first station east of Emerald Junction on the Prince Edward Island Railway.
