Hants County Acadian Heritage Series. A series of caches showing
“snapshots in time” of Acadian life in this county. All
locations are signed and documented as significant Acadian
Historical Sites. Container: small plastic round container
Our home borders on both Hants and Colchester counties, we were
quite surprised to discover how large the Acadian influence was in
this area. Most of these historical sites are newly developed,
please take the time to sit and enjoy their locations. Watch for
the blue signs with a yellow star at the top … these signs
have interesting information regarding each place.
Hants County was known to Acadians as “les Mines.” By
the 1680s Acadians had settled along the Avon River, an area which
they would call Pigiguit. By the middle of the 18th century
Acadians had settled all along the Hants shore and this area had
become one of the major settlements in the French colony of Acadie.
Acadian villages were located along tidal rivers adjacent to
meadows and marshes which could be dyked, drained and farmed. The
fertile marshlands supported a prosperous agricultural
economy.
The village was located along the ridges in front of you. Before
the Acadian dykes were built you would have had wet feet if you
stood here at high tide. The Heritage sign is a bit down the road
as it moved after the cache was in place. This is now the 3rd cache
and if this one goes I am not putting out any more so Please Please
put the top back on this cache so no one will Muggle it .......
BRING A PEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
