North York - Black Creek Pioneer Village

 
The farm making up the nucleus of Black Creek Pioneer Village (about 30km / 19mi north-west of the Toronto city center and well worth a visit) originally belonged to a Dutch Pennsylvanian of German extraction who settled here in the early 19th C. The village consists of more than two dozen homesteads and other buildings (including a mill, cartwrights shop and smithy). Some are original, some rebuilt and some are replicas.

Together they provide a fascinating glimpse of pioneer life during the last century, with costumed museum staff demonstrating the old crafts and re-enacting everyday scenes from those far-off times. Visitors can even sample some of the exceptionally tasty food enjoyed by the early pioneers.
