Grand-Pré National Historic Site

Grand-Pré National Historic Site in Nova Scotia commemorates the Acadian community and their history. It marks the place where thousands of Acadians, descendants of French settlers, were forcibly deported during the mid-18th century's Great Expulsion (Le Grand Dérangement). The site includes interpretive displays, a memorial church, and scenic landscapes that honor the resilience and cultural heritage of the Acadian people. It serves as a reminder of their forced removal but also celebrates their enduring identity, language, and contributions to Canadian history.
