The Chandler and Price manual printing press on display was used by the Acadian newspaper "Le Petit Courrier du sud-ouest de la Nouvelle-Écosse" a few years after its founding in 1937.  Restored to full operation, a page from the first issue of "Le Petit Courrier du sud-ouest de la Nouvelle-Écosse" can be reproduced in this exhibit.

Individual lead lettering, printing artefacts and personal items of the founder of the newspaper, Désiré d'Eon (1905-1996), are also on exhibit.   The video viewing area has various video tapes on Acadian history.
