Lang Pioneer Village Museum

About this activity

Can you imagine a time WAY back when there wasn't any television OR internet? Just imagine!

Well, if you're brave enough to want to experience such a time, then head on over to the Lang Pioneer Village Museum, where it gives you the experience of a time when life was simple.  A time over 200 years ago. That's right. No grocery stores, cars or electricity. Food was grown in your very own garden, and cooked over a simple open fire or wood stove. 

What about clothes? No outlet malls for you! ALL of the clothes were handmade (Better brush up on your sewing skills kids!) All of the homes feature chamber pots and outhouses, and forget those fancy cars.  If you wanted to get around you had to walk, or take a horse-drawn wagon!

And what about school? Can you imagine how school would have been over 200 years ago? Do you think there would have been sophomores, proms, and friday night football? We don't think so! In fact, students would all be in the same room!

Lang Pioneer Village Museum is a fun way to experience history, and see what life as a settler in the Peterborough County area would have been like during the 19th century. It's also a fun way to escape the hustle and bustle of your daily lives for a few hours! 

During your time at the museum there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained too. Costumed interpreters will demonstrate the trades and duties around the house that those in early pioneer life would have had to do - from blacksmithing and sewing on a real antique machine! So many opportunities to kids to learn something new whilst having fun!

So if you LOVE history, or maybe even time travel, head on down to Lang Pioneer Village Museum and experience pioneer life for yourself!
