The Lunchbox on History: The Acadians of Pointe-Sainte-Anne

Posted on 2019-08-09 by encaf1 Posted in NB History, The Lunchbox

Before this city was named Frederick’s Town, it was known at Pointe-Sainte-Anne, but it’s a history that isn’t often explored.

My guest today is Stephanie Pettigrew, the Research Director of a new exhibit at the Fredericton Region Museum focusing on the Acadian residents of Pointe-Sainte-Anne. In particular, Stephanie tells us about the discovery of a personal family connection to a prominent local Acadian farmer and intermediary.

How much do you think you know about New Brunswick history? Personally, I think we do a pretty bad job of teaching it, and most people don’t embrace it. I’m on a mission to learn more, so I’ve invited a collection of historians to help me learn more about the legacies, the achievements, the battles, the inventions, the troublesome eras and the long past of one of Canada’s oldest regions.
