Annapolis – Royal – July 19

Steeped in history, Port Royal was an Acadian settlement established in 1605. In 1613 the site was destroyed by the British where the Acadians were deported to what is now the east coast of the US. In the 1930s the site was rebuilt from drawings made my Samuel Champlain, the French Explorer. The Acadians lived peaceful and traded with the local First Nations people, but it ended once the British burned the village.

Next, we traveled across the harbor to Annapolis and explored the British fort, Fort Ann. After another meal out we head back to our campsite.

  1. I can add to the history. My daughter’s many times great-grandfather was Jean/Jehaun Gaudet who settled in Port Royal in 1605 and died there in 1678. According to family history he returned to France and back at least once before the Pilgrims arrived. The Gaudet/te’s are known as the “12th family of Canada”
