Maine Acadian Culture
Maine Acadian Culture is a National Park Service project in which the NPS supports the efforts of the Maine Acadian Heritage Council to preserve Acadian culture in Maine. The Acadians were 17th-century French settlers who colonized parts of Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island—the latter three being Canadian regions. These settlers arrived from different areas within France.
The National Park Service does not maintain any relevant sites. However, they do support 11 sites within Maine's St. John Valley. These sites are the Acadian Landing and Tante Blanche Museum, Acadian Village, Allagash Wilderness Waterway, B and A Caboose and Green Water Tank, B and A Railroad Turntable, Fort Kent Blockhouse, Fort Kent Railroad Station, Historic Governor Brann Schoolhouse, Le Club Français, Musée culturel du Mont-Carmel, and Pelletier-Marquis House.
