Revealing Chignecto

May 13 to July 23, 2023

Parks Canada’s exhibit, Revealing Chignecto: The Stories Within, looks deeply at the history of this region and focuses on its archaeology: vestiges that represent millennia of Mi’kmaw communities, Acadian villages, and 18th century forts. Memories live here, across Chignecto’s lands and waters.
