We had the best time here! The staff is incredible, not rushed and so kind. We spent 4 hours here with our homeschool group and the kids still didn't want to leave when it was time. I can't say enough good things. We will be back. :)

I took my son on the 4 pm Farm Animal Tour and it was SO much fun! Farmer Valerie shared lots of funny anecdotes about each animal as she cares for them ever day. She also invited the kids to feed and interact with them. Seeing these rare breeds and learning about their history, use in olden times, and recent adventures was so enjoyable. They really are beautiful creatures.

Imagine stepping into a village frozen in the era of the 1920s-30s, a nostalgic time capsule waiting to be explored. Surrounding you are vintage homes, each piece of furniture echoing stories of a bygone era. The local press, school, carpentry, farm, garage, workshop, and church are pristine representations of that period. As you stroll, the townsfolk, draped in period attire, go about their daily lives. The village is buzzing with anticipation, as craftsmen are busy preparing for Christmas. With the hum of a 1930s machine, the carpenter skillfully crafts lathes, carts, and delicate wooden trinkets. The press churns out notebooks and gift bags using a 1920s printer, while the forge produces exquisite iron gifts. It's not just a visit; it's a mesmerizing journey back in time.

Doesn't that sound enchanting?

Such an interesting place! Lit to discover in a fun way. You can see how teachers teached, speak for the print shop manager, the carpenter, discover all the activities from before

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and variety of the museum items as well as the staff's knowledge. A place to return for sure.

I really enjoyed visiting this museum, and suggest it to anyone who hasn't had the chance to yet. They have a variety of historical buildings as well as staff that are informative and friendly.

The museum itself is a nice walk, situated mostly outdoors. There are houses to check out, as well as animals which are super cute too! I recommend going during the summer as that is when the animals are there.

Additionally, the staff that are in the different buildings have some fun little games or demonstrations of historical pieces.

I absolutely loved it! Very well organized, well kept and highly maintained. We got the chance to go back in time to the 1900s. The gentleman at the millsaw even did a demonstration for us. I loved the old school building, the church, the old train, the millsaw... There are some farm animals as well such as horses, bunnies, hens, cow etc. They had a scavenger hunt today and my children enjoyed their time doing it. They learned different things about the old day. This place is a cultural wealth, it is a real valuable heritage and a precious gem! Washrooms available, I would say stroller friendly, parking available and most of all they have a family package for admission of about 22$. Staff is very friendly, welcoming and professional. Open Wed. To Sunday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. They host different events and post them on their social media platforms. A must visit!

Historical village that has a lot to offer. There is a school, church, farms with piglets, turkeys, bunnies and other animals. Also, you can find horses, sheeps here.
I was lucky to see how nails were done of steel with hand tools. They have other performances and as I know events list is on their site.
Entrance is not too expensive (8.50$) and it's free for children under five.
It's located near Ottawa river, but not in a walking distance. So there are not lakes or rivers.
In general the museum is similar to first Canada village, but it's smaller and located much closer.
Definitely recommended.
3 hours would be enough to see everything.
I'd suggest to add some food courts here. They do not sell any food, so take it with yourself.
