Description:

Annapolis Royal, one of Nova Scotia’s most historic towns, is the oldest permanent European settlement in North America north of Florida. This visually evocative and informative book traces the history of Annapolis Royal through its architecture, streetscapes and industries, its public, military, and domestic life. Fort Anne, Canada’s first historic park, adds to the towns visual charm, as does the fact that many of the town’s historic buildings are still standing. Also treated in images and text are the surrounding villages of Granville, Lequille and Bear River, and of course, the replica of the 1605 Habitation of de Monts and Champlain.
