In the mid-1800s, a convent sat on the site currently occupied by the Acadiaville Community Centre, which then became a school. Eventually taken over by the government, it burned in 1911. The community rebuilt, and education resumed on that site until 1953 when a new school was built nearby. The building was run by the Knights of Columbus in 1977 until the community took it over in 2007, renaming it the Acadiaville Community Centre.

Like most halls, they host card plays, benefits, dances, and community gatherings. If washer toss is your jam, this is the place to be. Acadiaville also houses the local Feed Nova Scotia Food Bank in its basement, cementing it as a place where the community can go in times of crisis. Their Spring Fling, which is celebrated around Easter, includes a breakfast for community members where they can get together and welcome spring after a long winter. Acadiaville also hosts an annual Motorcycle Poker Run, where enthusiasts can enjoy the beautiful scenery that Isle Madame has to offer, compete for some prizes, and enjoy a barbeque and refreshments with good company.
