Description
The Picnic Grounds commemorative site is located at the corner of Principale Street (Route 134) and Cape Road, in Saint-Louis-de-Kent.
Heritage value
The site’s value resides in its ties with the community picnics held there every year, beginning in the second half of the 19th century (c1870’s) and continuing until the mid-20th century. The community picnics of the time were among the first gathering points for people in the surrounding area, and their aim was to revive community spirit, give parishioners a chance to talk to each other, offer leisure activities, and raise funds.
