Black Creek Pioneer Village is Toronto's premier outdoor living history museum. Visitors can explore 40 heritage homes, shops and buildings restored to re-create a 1860s Ontario village. Historic interpreters in period dress demonstrate how villagers lived, worked and played. The Village hosts learning programs and special events that highlight local heritage and culture.

The tranquil setting, rural landscapes, heritage gardens and period farm animal breeds make Black Creek Pioneer Village the perfect place to break out of the modern world and journey into the past. Located in north Toronto, Black Creek Pioneer Village is a heritage project of Toronto and Region Conservation.

From lively 19th century battle re-enactments to Toronto's only festival of Métis Arts, Black Creek Pioneer Village offers a full season of cultural and heritage events for the whole family. Visit our website for seasonal events throughout the year.
