Raymond-Ville was a short lived late
19th century
settlement of French immigrants who left their home as a
result of the
Franco-Prussian War. They located in the south boundary
area of Pictou
County, Nova Scotia, between the communities of Lorne
and Trafalgar.
The memory of these settlers is kept alive through
documents and artifacts collected by Pictonian John Ashton. He invites
you to learn more about their experience as representatives of Nova
Scotia's rich cultural mosaic. |
