Lunenburg County Historical Society and Geoff Biddulph

historic site: One e-mail in particular stood out from the others, according to The Chronicle Herald. It was from Geoff Biddulph from the Lunenburg County Historical Society, and he wrote to tell me about an important historic site that I had neglected to include in my column. It would seem that a lot of people are in agreement with my observation that the South Shore rich past holds great potential in helping to build the region future prosperity. He felt it was just as important as the other locations I had mentioned, and he was right for pointing out my omission. If there was ever a site in Nova Scotia that had historical significance, then this site, a newly intended capital city site where French colonists were brought in to form the core Acadian families that would eventually spread through Nova Scotia and beyond, is of great historical significance, he continued. Here is what he had to say: I enjoyed reading your article on our past is our future, but was surprised when you gave examples of historical places but omitted Fort Point in LaHave that was the capital of Acadia from 1632 to 1635, he wrote.
