I always have a great time here. I recommend getting here early because from 9 to 11 or later they are very empty and you can get personal tours of everything from the people in costume. Often times the houses have a treat or some interesting beverage to try when you visit. They have a horse and buggy ride and a myriad of other activities throughout the day to attend. There is an indoor section to enjoy but the outdoor town is where it's at. If you have kids I highly recommend it but it can also be enjoyed as an interesting and unique date activity.
It's a wonderful experience for all ages. The Museum itself is educational and fun to explore but then you step outside and you're returned to a farmong community in the year 1914. Period dressed employees invite you to enter different homes/buildings. The Blacksmith is busy demonstrating his work. I'm looking forward to returning again. Make sure to view their events calendar.
Fantastic experience. Phenomenally curated and exceedingly educational. Paired with the Doon Heritage Village it is a great day out for all ages. Outer building is gorgeous. I was amazed at this out of the way gem. A must for everyone!
The main museum is an interesting building and space. The exibits in it however are pretty thin. What's there isn't bad. There's just not a lot there. With a couple of exceptions it looks like they scrambled to find stuff to fill the museum, couldn't, so used lots of pictures and bits & pieces instead. There is a LOT of improvement needed on that front. The outside village, incredibly, is closed on weekends after labour day, which makes little sense particularly since the main building seems over staffed for what it is. It looked interesting from the other side of the fence, we just couldn't actually visit it.
Fantastic museum and village. Staff was super friendly and talked to us explaining the heritage village and museum exhibits. The museum is a large open space collection of very nicely presented displays showcasing the town's history from early settlers to WWII to its modern technological and industrial innovations. I easily spent 4 hours here and wished I had more time to read all the exhibits in the museum. Highly recommended.
