Great historical open air museum within the city. It showcases different houses and buildings during the early and mid 19th century in Ontario. The staff at the highlighted exhibits were very friendly and received souvenirs to take home. The friendly staff demonstrated the candle holder cage was very interesting. There was a 45 minutes guided tour, it was worth joining. The tour guide was very accommodating and pleasant. Go and immerse yourself back to 1815-1860.

A really good experience. I went on a fairly quiet day which was nice so it felt a bit more special than I imagine it would do on a crowded day. The people were welcoming and friendly and very informative. Getting to walk around the town and listen to the stories in each building was a fantastic way to learn about the history, it was so much better than trouncing around a museum. The only downside is that when I went some areas were closed off for filming so it might be worth checking in advance if that's possible. Aside from that I would recommend this as a truly wholesome experience.

We went for the Harvest Fair and every one we met was so nice! The docent are fun and clearly passionate and engaging about keeping the past alive so folks can learn and enjoy! This place is a gem of history but the staff is the real treasure!

this experience was amazing. upon entrance, you are able to get right into the town and the first thing you will see is an old barn. as you go along you can see many hotels, houses, huts, and much more. it is absolutely astonishing to see all of this. everything in this town was built and used in the 1860's. every single hotel and house has their own person who greets people apon entering and explains to them about the house and its history. i totally recommend coming. if you come i hope you enjoy the experience as much as i did :)
