Roma at Three Rivers National Historic Site — Attraction in Brudenell

We were given a guided tour by 3 different tour personnel.. they each explained the different occupants' roles in the village. The history was phenomenal. It was a very harsh lifestyle to live..life expectancy was short. If you love history, this would be a place to put on your bucket list..highly recommend it once in a...
