Visit, suspend disbelief, and immerse yourself and your family into the deceptively simple life of Upper Canada in the 1860's.
Breathe the clean air. It's different here; less complex, busy, but at a slower, more relaxed pace. Wander the Village that time passed by.
See and experience a working 1860's village, meet the inhabitants, ask them questions, discover life as it was almost 150 years ago.
After about a 90 minute drive from Ottawa and just past the entrance to Upper Canada Village, you'll find yourself transported from the present, to the corner of Mill and Queen Streets in the Village of Upper Canada, circa 1860.
 |
Look to your left! There's old Asseltine's Woollen Factory. In it, experience the transformation of mounds of rich, raw wool from the Village's sheep into yarn and warm, thick blankets. See their assortment of "modern 1860" spinning equipment in operation.

Need some flour for baking? Just up Mill Street Bellamy's Flour Mills and Cooperage grind their wheat into rich flour for the Villager's use.
 |
And the cooperage, just next door to the flour mill, hand-crafts barrels for the multiple uses of the Village's inhabitants.
