History
On 22 September 1973, La Société Historique Acadienne du Comté de Yarmouth was formed for the purpose of studying the history of the Acadians in general, and those in Yarmouth County in particular. Its founding members were: President Désiré d'Eon, Vice-President Alfred B. d'Entremont, Secretary Rosie L. d'Entremont, and Treasurer Bennie Amirault. In 1977, the members purchased a house in the village of West Pubnico and transformed it into the Museé acadien et Archives. The name of the society was eventually changed to La Société Historique Acadienne de Pubnico-Ouest and officially incorporated in 1984.
