Located in St. David parish, Madawaska, Maine, this site commemorates the landing of the first Acadian settlers in the Upper St. John River Valley. A large marble cross recently replaced a wooden cross erected in 1922 to represent the first cross erected in 1785. Religious and ceremonial services are occasionally held at the site. This site retains a high level of symbolic significance for many local residents. It is owned by the Madawaska Historical Society.

The Acadian Landing Site is part of the Tante Blanche Museum complex in St. David parish, Madawaska, Maine. The Madawaska Historical Societyís museum is a 1970s log building named for Marguerite Blanche Thibodeau Cyr in honor of her heroic deeds during the 1797 famine. In addition to the Landing Site and the museum, two adjacent historical society buildings are part of the museum complex: a 19th-century schoolhouse and the Fred Albert House. Collections of artifacts (especially related to Acadian textile manufacture and domestic furnishings) are located in the buildings.
