Jean Pierre Roma at Three Rivers, National Historic Site of Canada is a
 not-for-profit historic site operated by a volunteer Board of Directors who is bringing the rich history of Jean Pierre Roma to life.   In order to keep telling the story of
Jean Pierre Roma,
we rely on funds raised through
Roma's Gala Heritage Feast including ticket sales and private sector supporters.
Trois Rivières, as Roma called it, was meant to become the hub of a thriving international network of trade routes, spanning from Quebec to France to Louisbourg to the West Indies.  At the centre was Roma's dream, a dream cut short when the Three Rivers settlement was burned to the ground by British privateers in 1745.

 On September 18, 2010,
we will celebrate once again Roma's dream, as our guests partake of
Roma's Gala Heritage Feast,
 an event which will attract  feasters to delight in a spectacular menu and enjoy entertainment second to none.
