Grand-Pre Landscape, Canada

GRAND-PRE LANDSCAPE (Canada)

The Nova Scotia town of Grand-Pre ("Great Meadow") was the setting for Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem Evangeline. It's situated near a marshland displaying agricultural development using dykes and sluices in a system dating to the Acadians of the 17th century. Archaeological sites reveal the origins of European settlement on the North American Atlantic coast.
