The Société Promotion Grand-Pré collaborated with Parks Canada in the construction of an Interpretive Centre at Grand-Pré National Historic Site of Canada. The 1,500 m2 Visitor Centre houses a theatre, an exhibit hall, a gift shop, an art gallery, and an administration area. Situated in an area which was a major centre of Acadian activity from 1682 to 1755, Grand-Pré National Historic Site of Canada commemorates the period of colonization and settlement of the area by Acadians as well as their Deportation in 1755. The Centre opened in 2003.

I am particularly proud to welcome you to this historic site which is unique in the world. You will have the opportunity to relive great moments of Acadie which is dear to our hearts. When you come to Grand-Pré, you will witness the story of the Acadians, a people with great courage, and you will discover how these families shaped Acadie, a beacon of hope and survival for mankind, for all posterity.
Grand-Pré is a place of inspiration!
