 Visit the historic site along the breathtaking St. John River where our ancestors first stepped foot in northern Maine. The spot is marked with a huge cross, erected at the location where Acadians landed after fleeing from their Nova Scotia homeland in 1785 to avoid being deported by the British. Experience the history and proud heritage of the people immortalized in the famous Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem "Evangeline" when you tour the Tante Blanche Museum, or attend any of the numerous cultural events, including the spectacular Acadian Festival in Late June. The central area of the St. John Valley is home to many other culturally and historically significant sites, all of which tell the story of the French-Acadian settlers
 If outdoor adventure is what you seek, the infinite recreational opportunities we offer will surely satisfy. Each of the four seasons boast a wide array of activities to experience and enjoy. The natural beauty of the St. John River, Long Lake, the rolling hills and panoramic countryside provides a picturesque playground for one and all.
 The Greater Madawaska Region is proud of its unique role as a gateway community between the U.S. and Canada. Our location is ideal for travel and trade, and serves as a vital crossroads for the Acadian populations of Maine, New Brunswick and eastern Quebec.
