Evangeline

            Grand-Pré UNESCO National  Historic Site in Grand-Pré, Nova Scotia is where you will see the Statue of Evangeline and the  Memorial Church. 

“Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie,” first published in 1847, was a poem written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Almost immediately after its release, the poem obtained worldwide popularity. Millions of people were drawn to the story of a young Acadian couple from the village of Grand-Pré, Evangeline Bellefontaine and Gabriel Lajeunesse, who were separated by the events of the Deportation.

Evangeline, being a faithful, pious woman, vowed to find her true love Gabriel, yet she always seemed to be two steps behind. More than a fictitious character, Evangeline became a symbol of the Deportation and the perseverance of the Acadian people.

On July 29, 1920, the Dominion Atlantic Railway (DAR) added to the evolving cultural landscape of the newly formed Grand-Pré Park when it unveiled a bronze sculpture of Evangeline. The work was produced by a Québécois sculptor named Henri Hébert, who created a variation on an earlier design of his father, sculptor Louis-Philippe Hébert. The sculpture of Evangeline seems to perpetually grieve for her lost homeland of Acadie.
