Wolfville & Grand Pré: Past and Present

From peaceful, tree-lined streets to wind-swept marshes to awe-inspiring Cape Blomidon, the Land of Evangeline boasts a varied and beautiful landscape, justly celebrated by poets, artists, visitors and residents. In this lively book historian and author Brian Cuthbertson traces the evolution of the land and the people. He tells of the Acadian settlers who turned the marshlands into dykelands, the New England Planters who founded Wolfville, the determined Baptists who established Acadia University, and the shared growth of town and gown.

An unparalleled guide to this beautiful region, Wolfville & Grand Pré offers guided walking tours of present-day Wolfville and Grand Pré, with easy-to-use maps, and colour photos of the area's most significant features.
