Day 4-Memramcook, Fort Beausejour, and Beaubassin

Day 4 began with a visit to Monument Lefebvre in Memramcook. Here we picked up many books and momentos in the gift shop.

Fighting the strong winds and trying not to get blown off the ramparts, we toured Fort Beauséjour. Heading down the road a bit, we visited the lands of our ancestors at Beaubassin, first settled by Jacob Bourgeois.
