You are here: Home ExperiencesCultural & Heritage ToursNew England PlantersDiscover our abundant New England Planters’ history in Southwest Nova Scotia. Following the expulsion of the Acadians in 1755, Governor Charles Lawrence invited families from New England to settle the fertile farm lands left vacant. By 1768, with the promise of free religion and land, approximately 8,000 New Englanders, known as the “Planters” had made residence on the former lands of the Acadians throughout Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. A permanent Exhibit housed at the Kings County Museum in Kentville commemorates the history of the “Planters” and includes a film and hands on exhibit for children to explore their modern lifestyle as it compares to the Planters’ children.
