The Landscape of Grand Pré
Canada’s 16th UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Landscape of Grand Pré, is honored for the importance that the land played in the lives of its 17th-century Acadian settlers. It was on this 13-square-kilometer (five-square-mile) stretch of farmland that the Acadians first introduced the dike system, and the area is also home to the setting of renowned American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie.
Today, you can learn about the history and deportation of the Acadian people at the Grand-Pré National Historic Site and explore the area’s many vineyards, towns, and restaurants.
