We have been to many Nova Scotia museums but this topped them all. All the stories of the Acadians in Pubnico were presented by genuinely enthusiastic story tellers - we loved every bit of it

Loved it! The explanations were both informative and descriptive, the people in the village were unassuming but very knowledgeable. Each character told us of their craft and their life in their own particular style. We got a peek at life as it must have been 100 years ago.
Loved this experience! Everyone was so knowledgable and nice! My mom and I enjoyed our visit immensely!
Happy to celebrate the Acadian festivaties with my Acadian hubby
I loved seeing how the Acadians lived back then an very educational.
While you are there, you have to go to the café. The coconut cream pie and the grilled cheese is to die for. It’s so worth it. They also have free samples for rappie pie. Usually places like this drive me crazy. The actors talk with an exaggerated accent, and use old slang. You can barely understand them, it’s too forcefully immersive. But this place was completely different. The staff there are hardly actors. They talk normally, and they actually are working on what they talk about (like knitting), instead of just having props lying around. Like the blacksmith; he makes nails for kids, and puts their initial on top as they watch. The workers know what they are talking about from experience, and for most of them, their families as well. You can tell they care about their history. It’s not just some summer job for them.
Very nice little village with a lot of opportunities to interact with the people there. Everyone we met was very nice and friendly, they all liked to talk about the way they lived in the past. Clear recommendation
An authentic Acadian historical village in the heart of Pubnico, an Acadian down on the Southwest shore of Nova Scotia. The stories told at each of the villages restored houses are educational and at the same time entertaining. The village offers a piece of Acadian culture and history that is a must experience for all who visit, particularly fellow Canadians.
