The church closes at 4:30 pm so you should get there latest around 2 pm so that you can spend 2-3 hours there.
We are LeBlanc' s from Louisiana and my husband is a descendant of one of the families deported from Nova Scotia. We plan a visit to Grand Pre when our cruise ship is docked in Halifax on Sept. 1! Let us know your ideas for other places nearby and lunch spot.. Lois and Stan LeBlanc
