About this Event

Step back in time at Historical Village, when everything was homemade and homegrown, and sustainability was a way of life.

Experience some of the hard work done every day in the 1800s and early 2oth century. Roll up your sleeves to help churn cream into butter in a hands-on demonstration with a costumed guide! Taste the butter afterwards on crackers.

Explore 30 historic buildings and the beautiful heritage gardens on the 7-acre site. Bring a picnic or grab something from the Homestead cafe. Make a day of it!

No booking required. Free with admission: adult $16, senior/student $14, child $8, family $44, child under 5 – free. Open 10am-4pm

Cost: $16
