    Location of the Melanson family’s homestead before the Acadian deportation. There are no vestiges visible. There’s a nice short circular path and a standard park toilet facility

    This is a well tended walk through a meadow with a few signs dedicated to the family who tended this land for generations before the Acadian exile.

    Nice place to stop for a look (cheap to enter) and nice to walk around. Bring a picnic!

    My ancestor was Melanson so coming here obviously means more to me than most. This is a quick visit site, no more than twenty minutes of gentle walking and viewing information panels in a rural setting. If you are in the area, come for a walk here.

    Nice to walk around, see the views and read about the Acadian Settlement that was here in the 1600 and 1700's. None of my ancestors lived here, as far as I know, but close enough to Port-Royal that my ancestors, Louis Hebert may have walked in this area. Quite peaceful, anyway.
