I haven't been to Ontario for a few years; in fact I went to Upper Canada Village twenty years ago, but have no memory of it. Regardless, based on the pictures they show since their opening in 1961 it has changed a great deal.

The best stories were to be found here:
- Shoemaker - No right or left.
- Tinsmith - Look at the boxes for cash and candles.
- Broom maker - Check out the Sorghum (looks like corn) by the door.
- Sawmill - Ask for the story of how they build a sawmill in three days.
- Woolen Factory - Check out the power system.
- Drag Saw - The horse likes the shade and gets a break after lunch.
- Tenant Farm - The oxen and cart was the highlight. The economics of tenant farm life are interesting.
- Louche Farm - It is all there, animals, gardens, a working farm.
- Printing Office - All about fonts and printing, so interesting.
- Christ Church - The box pews and alter are unusual. The austere decor as popular in 1866, but gave way to more ornate decors twenty years later.
