Acadian History Adventures!

Last summer, my family and I decided it would be a good idea to travel around the area we are from and explore and take in what we have around us. Who says you have to take a trip out of the country to explore and learn new things?

Fort Beausejour is about a 45 minute drive from my hometown Moncton, into Aulac, New Brunswick. It is recognized for its star shaped battlefield and small museum-like building filled with history of the battle grounds between the Britain and France! In the museum, they have several video displays of past events and history that has taken place in those fields so you can learn all about it. Also, you can find old bibles and items in enclosed containers which belonged to the Acadian men whom once battled on these fields!

I definitely encourage all culture/history buffs to take some time to visit this place, especially for those Acadians out there! There's a great accomplishment feeling when learning a little bit of fun facts on your last name. I learned an incredible amount of new things about the Acadian history and about my family's last name Landry, through this and all of the informative museum members, it was an overall great experience!
