The Historical Acadian Village is situated a few minutes drive from Caraquet center. It is open from visitor during the summer season and people actually live part of their lives on site. They are living off the land as the Acadians, my ancestors, lived.
The village portraits the early middle 1700 to the early 1900. As visitors we are shown how to make wool and linen, flour, shingles, wooden shoes and many other basic things.
2004 celebrates 400 yrs of history. I tried to portrait the people, not just the scenery of my own history with this photo slide. I had a difficult time choosing only a few of the 650 pictures I took.
If you are around this summer, make sure to look up the many events that will take place throughout Canada.
