Here’s what it says on a plaque erected on the Roma site in 1936 (and still visible on the property).
“Roma at Three Rivers”. “Here, in 1732, Jean Pierre Roma founded a base for control of the Gulf fisheries, and for trade with France, Quebec and the West Indies. His establishment was destroyed after the fall of Louisbourg in 1745.”
Step back in time and experience Jean Pierre Roma’s 1730s trading post. Authentic experiences are provided for all age groups, and/or take time to enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal and refreshments. Maybe a picnic lunch is your preference when you visit our secluded, quiet, picturesque spot tucked away in this historic PEI location.
