Grand-Pré is the essential visit near Wolfville. The site remembers the Acadian village that stood here before the British deportations of 1755, with gardens, a memorial church, exhibits, and views across the reclaimed marshes toward the Minas Basin.
Go with enough time to walk outside after the visitor centre. The dykelands make the story easier to understand: this was not just a village, but a farmed tidal landscape built and maintained by generations of Acadians.
