• Grand Pré National Historic Site - Grand-Pré stands as a significant monument that brings together the Acadian community. Visitors to this site will discover the story of Le Grand Dérangement, a poignant chapter in Acadian history that has influenced the vibrant culture of today’s Acadians worldwide through its quiet yet impactful revival. The site honors the Grand Pré area as a hub of Acadian settlement from 1682 to 1755 and the Deportation of the Acadians, which began in 1755 and lasted until 1762. For many Acadians globally, the site remains the heart of their ancestral homeland and a symbol of the enduring connections that unite them. There is a fee to visit the Museum, but no fee to see the Church and the legendary statue of Evangeline (heroine of the Longfellow poem) and the Memorial Church.

• Old Post Road - From the View Park on Old Post Road, one can admire the 1,300 hectares of farmland, marshes, and dykelands that make up the Landscape of Grand-Pré. Discover the profound human story embedded in this land.

A vast panorama brings to life the industrious efforts of the Acadians, who, in the 1680s, overcame geographical challenges and the world’s highest tides to establish thriving settlements. Their innovative dyke system remained a technological pinnacle for centuries—expanded and maintained by English, Scottish, and Dutch settlers until the mid-20th century—and, combined with a tumultuous regional history, led to the area’s designation as Canada’s 16th UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Rich in Mi’kmaw tradition, the dramatic Cape Blomidon, which frames the dykelands, is said to house the spirit of the mythical watchman Kluscap, adding another layer to this culturally and naturally diverse landscape.
