New monument revealed in Grand-Pré to commemorate dykelands

An all-granite harvest table weighing more than 500 kilograms and more than four metres in length was installed at the Grand-Pré view park on Old Post Road. About 16 people can sit around the table on two granite benches that line either side. 

 

The centrepiece features an overhead view of the centuries-old dykelands using a map created by a local cartographer of Acadian descent.
