Black
Creek Pioneer Village is an historic
site in Toronto, Ontario, Canada,
just west of York University and southeast
of the Jane and Steeles intersection.
It overlooks Black Creek, a tributary
of the Humber River. The village is
a recreation of life in 19th Century
Ontario and gives an idea how Toronto
might have looked in the early 1800s.
The "pioneer" village consists
of over forty historic 19th century
buildings, decorated in the style
of the 1860s with period furnishings.
Besides the Historical Interpreters
and Craftspeople housed in the restored
buildings, the site also features
historical re-enactments and visiting
artisans. Buildings include period
houses, The Original Stong Family
farm buildings, a water-powered grist
mill, a general store, a blacksmith's
shop along with over 10 other trades
buildings, a hotel, and a one-room
schoolhouse.
