Just me? 🙃 I find myself flooding my iPhone storage with pictures from our adventures. At least a quarter of them are just doors, windows or hardware. 🤪

🏘 Acadian Village - Seven of the 11 buildings are authentic homes of the 19th century donated by the families whose ancestors once occupied them. All homes show the passing of time and are remarkable examples of the ingenuity of the early Acadian homebuilders, complete with wooden pegs, mud walls, hand-hewn cypress timbers and high-peaked roofs. Each was moved piece by piece and carefully restored. 🙌🏼

💡 Today, the Acadian Village has served as the backdrop for many Cajun festivals, weddings, special events, corporate functions, Noel Acadien auVillage (Christmas Lighting Program) and the best example around of 19th-century Cajun lifestyle.

🎄 Acadian Village comes alive the first three weeks of December for Noël Acadien au Village. Entertainment includes area musicians, choirs, choruses, bands and much more. Every night kids of all ages can have their photo taken with Santa - and receive it on the spot for a nominal charge.
Christmas Depot, the New Orleans Company responsible for lighting the entire Village, said that it takes 10–12 people, nearly 2,000 man-hours, to complete the job. Tim Fitzpatrick of Christmas Depot starts in September strategizing for the massive undertaking. They'll come back in October and November to actually light the Village. By mid-November, the job is pretty much done - just a few nips and tucks. ☺️

I’ve been stitched together by song lyrics, book quotes, adventure, late night conversations, moonlight, and the smell of coffee." - Brooke Hampton
Another week of raising humans, placing stitches that will make up the pieces of who they are...happy Monday to you all - Sue

What was to become Great Village was first settled by French-speaking Acadians around 1630, who built dykes in the marshes, reclaimed land, and created a small village - Great Village. With a population of roughly 500, the Great Village Antique Exchange is a marvelous way to revitalize this beautiful and charismatic little strip on highway 2.

happiness shouldn't be something you end up with; it ought to be the by-product of a wholehearted, fully lived life." Julie Bogart
The girls are always eager to take a step back in time...give them all the patterned quilts, freshly baked bread and calico bonnets. Usually we explore this era through books but we've been making the effort to visit more local historical sites this year. The Historic Acadian Village in Bertrand, New Brunswick completely blew us away. We followed 2.2 km of roadways that had us visiting the homes and workplaces of a colorful array of characters through 1770 to 1949. Each bilingual costumed interpreter truly brought the Acadian history to life by sharing their day-to-day lives, highlighting their customs, routines, creativity and most apparent, their warm welcoming spirit. We literally couldn't take it all in, there was so much to see and do. We can't wait to return! @village_acadien @peninsuleacadienne /s p o n s o r e d/

Cool bridges and paths to walk around on. The inside of the houses had all the amenities from back then, which weren’t many 🏠
