Evangeline’s Well

Evangeline’s Land is romantic and beautiful atany time, but in apple-blossom time it is adorable;a riot of blossom everywhere, of purest white,cream and shell pink, and, in the midst of it allin a little hollow or dip in the road one comesupon the tiny village of Grand Pré—stragglingdown a gentle slope to the basin of Minas. Inthe Spring the village is almost buried in blossom,and so peaceful now, tho’ the scene of so muchsorrow and tragedy in the past, of which one isreminded by Evangeline’s Well, and an old stonecross, which marks the site where the villageonce stood. A picturesque row of ancient willows,planted by the Acadians, helps to bringback the pathos and tragedy of that time evennow.
