Village Historique Acadien is an historical reconstruction that portrays the way of life of Acadians between 1770 and 1939. It is located in Rivière-du-Nord near Caraquet, in northeastern New Brunswick, 50 kilometres (31 mi) east of Bathurst and 130 kilometres (81 mi) north of Miramichi, New Brunswick.
More than 40 buildings are staffed by interpreters in period costume who bring ancestral customs and traditional trades to life. Among the attractions is Hôtel Château Albert, a replica of a turn-of the century hotel that once existed in Caraquet. The original was destroyed by fire in 1955 but it has been re-created at the Village. It offers overnight accommodations as well as a dining room.
Allow a minimum of 3 hours for a complete visit.
