| Commentaires : | This Peel is located in the Doucet House at the Farmer's Bank of Rustico site. Built around 1770, the Doucet house is the oldest house in the Rustico area, and possible on all of Prince Edward Island. The residence was originally situated on Grand-Pere (now Cymbria) and was inhabited continuously by descendents of the Doucet families until 1982, when it was purchased as a summer residence. Soon it was offered by the owner for removal from his land or was slated to be torn down. The Farmer's Bank of Rustico moved the house to their site and began a full restoration in 2003. The Doucet house now houses a collection of early Acadian artefacts.Peels like this one were a common tool of Acadian domestic life. A peel is an ancient baking tool. For thousands of years bakers have moved bread in and out of hot oven on a long-handled shovel. Peels have been used in many different cultures, in different eras. Bread baking tools would have found use nearly every day of the year. Many of the Acadians on PEI for a time were subsistence farmers and fishers, families would use flour milled from their own crops to make bread. An n example of a traditional outdoor bread oven was erected adjacent to the Doucet house. |
