One of Canada's earliest designated National Historic Sites,
Jean Pierre Roma at Three Rivers
offers a cluster of 1700s style buildings and 9 km of lovely forested trails along
the Brudenell and Montague Rivers. Interpretive signs along the easily accessible 1 km-long Heritage Trail recognize the fisheries and international trade begun here in 1732 by Jean Pierre Roma and continued by the Macdonald brothers' ship-building enterprise of the mid 1800s. The site presents costumed guides for individual tours, Petites Fêtes, beautiful picnic areas, full kitchen facilities and a unique timber frame barbeque shelter with large outdoor clay oven. Entertaining tours and heritage meals for groups, and tours for small groups are available by prearrangement; or explore and picnic independently at any time... because Roma built the Island's first roads, it is said "All roads lead to Roma"!
