Major’s Point Historic Site The Google rating is 4.5

Major’s Point Historic Site located in Belliveau Cove in the Yarmouth and Acadian Shores region commemorates the arrival of a group of Acadians fleeing the expulsion in 1755.

It is also the site of the first Acadian cemetery on St. Mary’s Bay, which was used as a burial ground until 1786. A replica of The Little Chapel, which dates back to 1892, was built on this site as a reminder of the sacredness of these grounds.

Walking trails connect the site with the nearby Belliveau Cove Municipal Park.

Site improvements were implemented in 2024 including recladding of the chapel, regrading of the cemetery, adding a stone wall and stone crosses. New seasonal restroom onsite.
