Grand Pre National Historic Site

2205 Grand Pre Rd., Grand Pre

From 1755 to 1762, the Acadians (descendants of French settlers in Canada) were exiled from their homes in Nova Scotia. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Grand Pre National Historic Site honors their story, offering a museum, gardens and memorial church on the grounds where many Acadians settled. A kids’ audio tour is available inside the church, where children can also dress as the Acadians did.

Hours
The site is open late-May to mid-October; group tour reservations are available year round. Family pricing is also available.
