That's Life! ... In the 1700s
Walk where, in 1732, French merchant Jean Pierre Roma carved a commercial trading company out of the dense Acadian forest. Imagine Roma's crews building the first roads on P.E.I., some of which are routes we still drive today. Roma followed his dreams and as an early international trader, shipped goods to France, the West Indies, Quebec and Louisbourg.
Roma believed his employees would be happier if the buildings were attractive. One of Roma's employees will explain the 1700s style piquet architecture of the reconstruction and tell the tale of why the white flag flies.
Today, Jean Pierre Roma at Three Rivers is a National Historic Site on Brudenell Point, P.E.I. where three Canadian Heritage Rivers converge. (The Montague, Brudenell & Cardigan Rivers)
