Farmers’ Bank of Rustico & Doucet House Museums

The Farmers’ Bank of Rustico operated from 1864-1894 and was the precursor to the Credit Union movement in North America. It houses a permanent exhibition focusing on its establishment and the work of its founder Father Belcourt. The 1772 Doucet Log House is the oldest house on the Island, and offers a look at the daily lives of an Acadian family. For a list of events, workshop, demonstrations, food experiences, and Experiential Meals in the Doucet House, check the website for more information. Festival “Meat Pie” takes place in the six Acadian Regions in September with the Finale in Rustico in mid-October.
