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"!

Roma's summer program offering guided tours and costumed interpreters will begin June 29th and run until August 30th. New this year will be the 8 Petites Fêtes featuring themed presentations and a lunch & learn experience.

Feel free to wonder the Roma Site and browse the signage explaining the  historical significance of the Jean Pierre Roma era (1732-1745) and the Macdonald era of the 1800s.
