We went to Canada's only Tidal Generating Plant to take a tour at 10:00 but it was cancelled so we went through the building reading the info and listening to videos. It is generated by the incredible tides from the Bay Of Fundy. 
Then went on to Fort Anne, Canada's most attacked fort and oldest national historic site. The fort's impressive heritage tapestry 
records some of the big events that took place here. Over 100 men & women worked on the tapestry, including a few stitches done by Queen Elizabeth II. It connects the lives of people during the struggle for empire between Britain and France in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Before they were deported in 1755, Acadian families farmed the dykelands along the Annapolis River. An interpretive trail tells the story of the Acadian village that was once there.
On again to Port Royal, the Habitation, Canada's first major historical reconstruction. Didn't do the tour but did walk the grounds and read the interpretive signs. Champlain helped found the Order of Good Cheer at the fort in 1605 (music and laughter and interaction with the Mi'kmaq).
We stopped for a scallop/lobster burger at a local family restaurant the walked along main street through the parks and gift shops. Drove along St Georges Street with many old mansions from the 1700s-1800s. The oldest house still occupied today and renovated back to the way it was, was built in 1710.
