Caraquet - Village Historique Acadien

To the south-east of Caraquet, near Bertrand on Road 11, lies the "Village Historique Acadien" open-air museum, one of New Brunswick's main attractions.

In this "living visual workshop" visitors can see how Acadians lived between 1780 and 1890. Museum staff dressed in the original costumes of the period perform old crafts, such as spinning wool, weaving cloth and making clothes, forging iron, making furniture and wagons, printing books and posters, making soap, drying fish, and preserving vegetables and meats.
