Cultural & Heritage Tours

There is a deep wealth of culture and heritage to explore in Southwest Nova Scotia. From Mi’kmaq beginnings to Acadian expulsions, take a cultural tour and learn about our fascinating history.

The Mi’kmaq people have inhabited this land for more than 10,000 years. Experience a part of this heritage by visiting an old Mi'kmaq burial ground at Kejimukujik National Park and National Historic Site of Canada, where you can examine centuries old native rock carvings called petroglyphs.

Experience the traditional Acadian way of life at the Historic Acadian Village in West Pubnico, and learn about the tragic expulsion of the Acadians at Grand Pre National Historic Site.

Visit one of the first permanent European settlements in Canada at Port Royal in Annapolis Royal, where the Sieur de Mons and Samuel de Champlain built their now famous Habitation.

The Black Loyalist Heritage Site in Birchtown celebrates the history of some of Canada’s first settlers; many of whom were passengers on the Underground Railroad. Step back in time and tour Southwest Nova Scotia’s rich heritage.
