Discover powerful Acadian stories within a picturesque landscape. Successes and struggles are illuminated through multimedia presentation and engaging displays, a splendid Victorian garden and a Memorial Church. The site is a monument to Acadian culture and deportation.
Grand-Pré National Historic Site is one of my favourite sites. The picturesque landscape will have you in awe – it is also a part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The very impressive artefacts and statues will tell the story of the site and of a long, rich and continuing Acadian culture.
The Memorial church, which houses a museum dedicated to the Acadian people is very rich with information on the settlements that were on the land long ago.
Additionally, the Evangeline statue is of utmost importance as it is thanks to Longfellow’s poem, Evangeline : A Tale of Acadie, that interest was brought to Grand-Pré and that the Acadian culture was brought to light.
