Nicolas Denys

The Nicolas Denys Museum in St. Peters, Nova Scotia commemorates the life of the seventeenth century French merchant, governor, settler, and author. Designed to resemble Denys' sixteenth century dwelling and trading post, the structure was erected in 1967. Nicolas Denys (1598? – 1688) was a French-born merchant, governor, author, and settler in New France. He founded settlements at St. Pierre (now St. Peter's, Nova Scotia), Ste. Anne (Englishtown, Nova Scotia) and Nepisiquit (Bathurst, New Brunswick).

Denys' writings about the lands and peoples of Acadia were published in two volumes in 1672. The work, entitled ''The Description and Natural History of the Coasts of North America'', remains the leading authority regarding the conditions of Acadia for the years 1632 through 1670.
