Historical Association of Annapolis Royal Review

Because the town flip-flopped between the French and English so many times, the past here is a complicated affair, but the members of the Historical Association of Annapolis Royal are happy to walk you through it. They've developed a series of high-season strolls led by guides dressed in typical 18th-century fashion. This is an entertaining way to learn more about the historic significance and cultural heritage of the region, and, at only C$7, it's a bargain. Options include tours of the National Historic District and sites associated with the Acadian Experience. Want to really get into the spirit of things? Candlelight tours of Canada's oldest English graveyard are available early June through mid-October. The association has also put together a pamphlet outlining a self-guided walk for visitors who'd rather wander independently.
