Upper Canada Village

I spent the day exploring Upper Canada Village, a living history museum that recreates life in an 1860s rural town. I walked through homes, farms, and workshops, each brought to life by costumed interpreters. Honestly, it was so immersive that at times I forgot what time period I was actually in.

Below features some of my favorite photos, each shot captures life from over 150 years ago.

Barn 1

Blacksmith

This blacksmith shop was one of the most visually striking parts of the village. Watching the blacksmiths at work gave me a whole new appreciation for how tools, hinges, and even horseshoes were made by hand.
