ACADIAN HERITAGE

About the Acadians

In 1605, French colonists established the first permanent European settlement at Port Royal (Annapolis Royal). This area became known as Acadia by the descendants. For more information about these early settlers.

MI'KMAQ COLLECTION

Artist Louis Jeremy

We are pleased to have as part of our permanent collection, items made by a local Mi’kmaq
craftsman, Louis Jeremy. What is incredible about his work is that he made everything himself,
from tools to paints from local sources in nature.

THE SCHOOLHOUSE

About School Life

As a former one-room schoolhouse, we have many items related to teaching including original students' desks, writing instruments, textbooks, and more.

The Settlers

About the Planters/Loyalists

The history of the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia is deeply intertwined with the migrations and
resettlements of the 18th century, particularly the arrival of the New England Planters and the
Loyalists.
