The Jean Pierre Roma National Historic Site depicts the life and times of the settlement established in 1732 by Jean Pierre Roma, a Frenchman who carved from the
virgin forest a trading post he called Trois Rivièrer.
Today, through experiencing heritage programs, we share with our visitors how the people in the settlement lived from day to day, the foods they ate and the foods they
didn't eat, how cod was fished to feed Europe, the toys played with by children before they went to work at the age of 5 and the fact that Jean Pierre Roma and his indentured servants built many of PEI's first roads ... and more!

"THE DRAMA"
It is harvest time in 1743 Isle St. Jean.
Bountiful food and copious drinks will be enjoyed at the settlement of Jean Pierre Roma at Three Rivers.
The guests are settling in and all is well.
Well, not quite so well.
Roma enjoys a great party as long as it is clearly his party.
Having a guest like Sub-delegate to the Intendant Robert Poitiers Dubuisson ( from Port La Joie) at Three Rivers is not enjoyable to him at all. And, the feeling is mutual.
While you are dining, enjoy the performances of Jean Pierre Roma, Robert Poitiers Dubuisson, Marie Anne, sister of Dubuisson, and Abbé de Bierne, the Priest so disliked by Roma.
