Enjoyed a wonderful day with our 4 & 7 year old grandkids! They enjoyed doing old school laundry, making a candle, making butter, a doll of cat tail reeds, dressing up in period customs, bending iron in the blacksmith building and a school lesson using a chalk pad (the precursor to the iPad!) The docents were amazing. Lynne is an absolute gem!

An enjoyable way to spend time immersed in a historical experience! Take your time and enjoy a beautiful day that will create great memories.

This landmark is a must see to get a really good feel about pioneer life and learn what the times were likely for the settlers in Muskoka. The staff are friendly and the walk around is easy to do. You'll need a couple of hours to see everything and definitely peek into the museum too! The landmark also has a wheelchair and rollator/walker you can borrow for free to walk the grounds. I was so happy to use the walker. It made my day. I would like to suggest an extra sign with an arrow that says entrance this way. My thanks to the great staff for making our visit so enjoyable.

Small open-air museum with several houses from different eras that were dismantled at the original site and rebuilt here. Small train station with an old locomotive. Museum with objects that make life in the last few centuries visible.
