The committee was formed to preserve and commemorate the site of this Acadian cemetery.
In the summer of 1996, several skeletal remains were unearthed in the Mountain View subdivision of Falmouth, Nova Scotia. An archeological assessment determined that the location was an unmarked pre-1755 Acadian cemetery.
Historical records show this parish was established in 1722. Estimates indicate that approximately 300 - 400 people of the parish were buried in this cemetery.
In order to preserve this important historic site, the committee purchased the land and has been working hard to pay the mortgage and to landscape and maintain the site in a fitting manner. Fundraising activities are outlined on their website and all contributions are appreciated. -
