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.

Feel the heartbeat of Old Acadie - still vibrant and proud!

Stan Surette, President, Société Promotion Grand-Pré

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.
