Father Lefebvre, a Catholic, priest, founded Saint Joseph's College in 1864, the first French-language college in the Maritimes. The college has since moved to a new location and the original school is now a small museum where the story of the deportation of Acadians from Nova Scotia and their resettlement in New Brunswick is told. The exhibits also cover Acadians living in New Brunswick who are influential in politics and business.
A long ramp leads to the accessible entrance where pushing a buzzer should alert the museum personnel to open the door. No one noticed the buzzer when we visited so you may have to call instead. The displays are all accessible.
The parking lot is large enough for any RV. Museum
