Canada: Cape Breton, Nova Scotia – Sleep on a Straw Mattress
By stan. Filed in Canada, History, National and State Parks, Nova Scotia |
When visiting Fortress Louisbourg in Nova Scotia, you have the opportunity to sleep in an authentic 18th century home. Reach out to Parks Canada to set it up but be aware that in that era, they slept on straw mattresses (you can throw a sleeping bag on top, though). Test yourself to see if you can live without electricity. In Rodrigue House, this is the bigger room, fine for the lady. The other smaller room had 2 single beds.
