A visit to Black Creek Pioneer Village is a step back in time to 19th-century Ontario. Forty authentically restored homes, workshops, public buildings and farms recreate the atmosphere of life in a rural Victorian community of the 1860s. Craftspeople and workers wearing period costumes demonstrate skills such as open-hearth cooking, bread-making, looming, milling, blacksmithing, sewing, printing and more.

Walk through the village and into the homes and buildings, visit the inn, and stroll through farms and forests. Personally, I have always found it a magical place to go. I usually try to get here two to three times a year.

If you live in the Toronto area, or are planning a visit to the city, this is an area that you should visit. More information about the village can be found on their website: http://www.blackcreek.ca/
