👍👍 My friend told me about him yesterday, but now that I know about his story, it makes me feel like he’s more than just your everyday robloxian. It hurts knowing that someone this young, this important, is gone, without another word said. It’s nice to know that Jackson’s tree is still there today, and...

👍👍 Beautiful!! This lighthouse was recently repainted and it is probably the most spectacular and most accessible lighthouse in the St John area. The dirt road to get here splits off from the paved road near the power station. The dirt road gets a little rough but most small sedans can handle it. From...

Port-Royal National Historic Site
Historical landmark
👍👍 Wonderful place to visit! Highly recommended. It’s a fantastic reconstruction of the original site dating back to 1605, rarely ever accomplished in history, anywhere, as they typically never go back that far! In this often uncertain time of cancel-culture, it’s refreshing to see a historic heritage...
