Roxbury is a small ghost town outside of Paradise, Nova Scotia.
Legend has it that about sixty of the Acadian settlers took flight up the river and hid on the South Mountain to escape the Expulsion.[1] Their allies, the Mi’kmaq, raced on canoe from Grand-Pré, Nova Scotia to warn them what was coming in 1755.[2][3]
Lost Acadian Gold
Rumours persist that the fleeing Acadians left stashes of gold under Mile Rock on Roxbury Road.[citation needed]
