Camping Colobri- July 2-4
We had great weather when we left Campbellton we headed east on route 134 the scenic Acadian coastal route which we will follow thru New Brunswick into Nova Scotia. We stopped in Caraquet to visit the Historic Acadian Village of 1770- 1889. This was well worth the stop. There are more than 40 authentic buildings each building had been dismantled from its original location and rebuilt all done by numbering each piece of wood or stone for the fireplace. There are houses, tavern, grist mill, school, church, general store, printing house, tinsmith, and cobbler shop each building has an interpreter in period costume to greet you and give you some background information about the family that occupied the home. You actually are living a day in the life of an Acadian each day a different event takes place when we were there the town was getting a new school teacher. Other events on the schedule were; childbirth, new preacher coming to town, marriage proposal, wedding, church auction, etc. We had great time we were told it takes about 1 hour to tour the grounds, I just don’t know how anyone could do it in an hour it took us 4 hours. We loved it!! The pictures below are from the Village.
Next stop- the Lobster Festival in Shediac- New Brunswick!
