3 weeks agoNice bit of history in our own backyard. They have a great group of volunteers some in period costumes that help illustrate what life was like back in the day. The property has been set up as a walkable village and live museum.

4 months agoCharming open air slice of history. Well maintained with fantastic volunteers. The only downside was that Google Maps insisted 1424 Fanshawe was the middle of an empty field, so we were somewhat nonplussed at that. There also wasn't much signage indicating the entrance to Fanshawe Conservation Area, nor that the Pioneer Village was actually inside said Conservation Area. But those are minor quibbles. Once we were there, we enjoyed ourselves.

4 months agoThis is a fairly involved complex that will take you back in time with their several buildings. The people on site are very knowledgeable and are a wealth of information. We happened to arrive on the celebration of emancipation so there was plenty going on at this venue. They provide a detailed map of the grounds to help you navigate the area.
