TOUR EVALUATION
The Vermilionville Living History Museum and Folklife park provide a wonderful educational experience for children and young adults. Combining school field trips with the educational aspects provided in classroom create a sense of historical relevance. The benefits of combining the two provide students to place a visual up-close example of the lives of early Acadians as they settled in the region. We appreciate any and all feedback you can provide us to continue to offer a unique experience at our historic village.
