Acadian Village

The Acadian Historic Village takes visitors back in time to experience traditional Acadian culture.  Museum animators and guides dressed in period costume populate the village and provide a glimpse into the Acadian lifestyle.  There are a couple of houses, where women demonstrate rug hooking and quilting.  Fishermen at the boat shop build dories, lobster-fishing traps and mend fishing nets.  There is a farm, a fish shop and a post office.

The location Lower West Pubnico is spectacular.  The village is spread out over a 17 acre point that overlooks Pubnico Harbour and the Atlantic Ocean.

There is a restaurant at the museum with a limited meu featuring soups, salads, sandwiches, desserts and famous traditional Acadian dish, Rappie Pie made with chicken and potatoes.
