It was interesting to learn that the original structures had been mostly destroyed and abandoned in the later 1700's and reconstruction efforts if a portion began in the 1960s.
We opted for the self guided tour. The "inhabitants" were great sources of information about their role and the history of Louisbourg. We spent half a day there, however, could have spent a full day there to stop for a drink at the tavern or a bite to eat.
It was a beautiful fall day with great views out onto the ocean. No wonder it was selected as a location for a fortified community in the early 1700s. I was also surprised at the original size of the community and the population.
The park itself is worth the drive if you are in the area. The drive to and from is also quite pictureque.
