CONVOCATION HALL

CONVOCATION HALL

Convocation Hall, as we see it today, is the third building on this elevated site overlooking the Minas Basin and Cape Blomidon. Acadia began as an extension of Horton Academy (1828), which was founded in Horton, Nova Scotia, by Baptists from Nova Scotia and Queen's College (1838). The College was later named Acadia College. The current stately classical building was built in 1924 and proudly sits welcoming students and faculty to this fine university and the lovely town of Wolfville.
