The Jean Pierre Roma National Historic Site depicts the life and times of the settlement established in 1732 by Jean Pierre Roma, a Frenchman who carved from the

didn't eat, how cod was fished to feed Europe, the toys played with by children before they went to work at the age of 7 and the fact that Jean Pierre Roma and his indentured servants built many of PEI's first roads ... and more!
