Black Creek Pioneer Village – Go back in time and to a very different life style, preserved at Black Creek
Pioneer Village. A recreation of an 1800s farm town, the "Village"
has about two dozen buildings, including a barn with sheep and pigs, stables,
a one room schoolhouse, a log house, and even a stagecoach. Best of all is watching crafts and chores
being performed by people dressed as Mennonite farmers and sampling period
foods. |

McMichael Canadian Art Collection – Get to know the Group of Seven at the McMichael, about 45 minutes north of downtown. The gallery sits in the midst of beautiful trees – a perfect setting for the collection of Canadian landscape paintings done in the early 1900s. Stopping here is a great way to get a feel for the passion Canadians have for their country's grand wilderness, and also see contemporary First Nations and Inuit artworks. |
