Upon entering the common room, you may be amazed by the huge wooden beams used in the construction. Have one of the interpreters explain the "mortise and tenon" construction method used in the framework of the Habitation. The large wooden tables, well appointed with pewter, suggest that much food and wine was enjoyed within these walls. Samuel de Champlain began a social club called "l'Ordre de Bon Temps" (The Order of Good Cheer) to ensure the men at Port-Royal had a proper diet, a source of activity, and a source of entertainment to help pass away the long winter nights. Such delicacies as fricassied beaver tail and boiled moose nose were common fare. The Nova Scotia government has an "Order of Good Times" certificate program; be sure to inquire when you visit our province.

Many skilled workers built the Habitation. Proceed to the artisans' quarters and discover the various tools they used.
