The Barachois Historical Church is the oldest wooden Acadian church still standing on its original site.
Built by parishioners, the church opened its doors in 1826. Threatened with demolition, it was saved in 1980 by a group of parishioners concerned with protecting the region’s Acadian religious and cultural heritage. It was then revived and given a new vocation: to become a community-focused Acadian place of memory by hosting artistic and cultural activities. Designated a provincial historic site, it is now a museum, art gallery and performance hall.
