All doors are open at twenty living history sites that offer us a taste of the past in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador. See how people lived, and learn about how they dined -- when life moved at a slower pace.

Jan Feduck treasures her Maritime roots. Her home is in Elora, Ontario, and she enjoys summers at her cottage beside the ocean in Nova Scotia, a base camp from which to explore the Maritimes. With family ancestry dating back to the 1700s in Point de Bute, New Brunswick and Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, she feels a strong connection to the history of the East Coast. A lifelong passion for travel has taken her to over forty countries while raising three travel-loving children with her history-loving husband. In all of her journeys, she seeks out food history destinations. As a published travel writer she hopes to inspire others to turn down those dirt roads, and explore what lies beyond the everyday.
