 Want to experience a taste of country living while visiting the city? Black Creek Pioneer Village recreates the past with over 35 carefully restored 1860’s shops and homes, staffed with costumed hosts who help guide you through Canadian history. Talk to the blacksmith, the cabinetmaker or others about their crafts. Visit the doctor’s house, Roblin’s mill & water wheel, or the local school as you stroll through this 19th century rural Victorian community. Don’t forget to sample some homemade bread or other traditional baked goodies.
Throughout the year, Pioneer Village plays host to various special events. Some of these activities include a Spring Fair, Fiddlers contest, Gardening Pot Pourri, Craft demonstrations, and Pioneer Festival. From November 18th through December 31st, the Village celebrates “Christmas Remembered”, a Victorian Christmas complete with evergreen garlands, handmade tree ornaments, mulled cider, mincemeat puddings, glowing fireplaces and many other traditional holiday activities. Visitors can also experience Christmas by lamplight, where over 200 oil lamps illuminate the Village. |
