The N206 supernova remnant (SNR) in the Large Magellanic Cloud has long been considered a prototypical ``mixed morphology'' SNR. Recent observations, however, have added a new twist to this familiar plot: an elongated, radially oriented radio feature seen in projection against the SNR face. Utilizing the high resolution and sensitivity available with the Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra, and XMM-Newton, we have obtained optical emission line images and spatially resolved X-ray spectral maps for this intriguing SNR. Our findings present the SNR itself as a remnant in the middle to late stages of its evolution. X-ray emission associated with the radio linear feature strongly suggests it to be a pulsar wind nebula (PWN). A small X-ray knot is discovered at the outer tip of this feature. The feature's elongated morphology and the surrounding wedge-shaped X-ray enhancement strongly suggest a bow shock PWN structure.
