Learn the tale of Le Grand Dérangement: a tragic event in Acadian history that has shaped the vibrant culture of modern-day Acadians. This site commemorates the Grand Pré area as a centre of Acadian settlement from 1682 to 1755 and the Deportation of the Acadians, which began in 1755 and continued until 1762.

This is the original lands of the Acadian people, and considered a "pilgrimage" or homecoming to return here. It's a fascinating history and incredibly important site for Nova Scotians! Even if you're not into history, you should visit here.
