About this campground

Visit the largest Acadian village, Héritage Vivant, in the US outside of Louisiana. Seventeen buildings illustrate the progress of Acadian ancestors, from an actual 1790s dirt-floor log home to early 1900s houses. Homes, furnishings, shops and implements are displayed, along with a log chapel and one-room school. Tours are available.
