Port au Choix National Historic Site is 15 kilometres (9 mi.) west of the Port Saunders-Port au Choix turnoff from Hwy. 430. In 1967 a local resident excavating for the construction of a new building discovered human bones, tools and weapons. The discovery led to archeological work that uncovered an ancient burial ground in the area. Scientific testing of the bones and artifacts disclosed that the burial ground was in use between 2300 B.C. and 1200 B.C.; it is said to be one of the largest hunter-gatherer burial grounds in North America.
