Le Village Historique Acadien de la Nouvelle-Écosse

Due to the time of year, it was closed but we were able to walk the grounds. Beautiful spot. Will have to return.

Absolutely awesome experience!! Check hours before you go but do not miss this. They are only operating in the summer. Live demonstrations of local work. Tour of the homes on-site.

What a great place to get a feel for traditional lifestyles in this part of the world. Started off with lunch in the museum store (local dish, Rappie pie - either you like it or you don't). Tour consists o two salvaged houses (with backstories on the original owners), an old post office, a blacksmith (with a functioning forge), a boat shop (dorries under construction), a fish factory (hand made salt cod - tasty), and a fish shanty (equipment storage and repair). The docents were exceptional with personal knowledge of the area and the times depicted. Lot of fish tales, so to speak. Well worth the time, especially on a beautiful day.

This place was fascinating. It covered a not very well understood part of history and it made it real. The staff of living history interpreters were very knowledgeable. The preserved old buildings were amazing.

The people who work here are so welcoming and informative. My child had lots of fun learning about Acadians. A great time travel experience.
