Today is day 19 of our adventure:

En route we crossed the St. Croix River which is a tidal river.

At Wolfville we all visited the Grand Pre´ National Historical Site.  This site depicts a 17^th/18^th century Acadian village with church, cemetery and scenic setting for Longfellow’s poem, Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie.  This location commemorates the Acadian Deportation.  

The Grand Pre´ was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2012.
