Upper Canada Village - Explore Part 1/3 - Parks of the St.Lawrence - Morrisburg - Ontario - Canada
Upper Canada Village endeavours to depict life in a rural English Canadian setting during the year 1866. Featured at the site are over 40 historical buildings, including several working mills (woollen mill, grist-mill and sawmill) and trades buildings (blacksmith, tinsmith, cabinetmaker, cooper, bakery, cheese-maker). Farming is demonstrated through the growing, harvesting or processing of heritage vegetables and livestock. Aspects of late 19th-century domestic arts, social life, music, religion, and politics are also discussed, interpreted and demonstrated at by staff dressed in clothing of the period. Local gardens in the village feature the flora and fauna commonly grown in the summer.
Construction of Upper Canada Village began in 1958 as part of the St. Lawrence Seaway project, which required the permanent flooding of ten communities in the area, known as The Lost Villages. Upper Canada Village was a part of the project's heritage preservation plan. Many of the buildings in Upper Canada Village were transported directly from the villages to be flooded.
The park, owned and operated by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, was opened to the public in 1961.
Other buildings from the Lost Villages were moved to Ault Park, where they comprise a living museum run by the Lost Villages Historical Society.
The park also incorporates a memorial to the Battle of Crysler's Farm, a War of 1812 battle which also took place on land submerged by the Seaway project.

Upper Canada Village - Ontario, Canada HD Travel Channel
Upper Canada Village is located at the St. Lawrence River between Montreal and Ottawa -6 mi. east of Morrisburg - in the Canadian province of Ontario. During the construction of the locks of the St. Lawrence Seaway some of the buildings of the so-called Lost Villages were protected from flooding and rebuilt in Upper Canada Village.
The whole village lives the life of a bygone era around 1860. The dough for the handmade bread comes from the flour ground at nearby Bellamy's Mills. Like in the old times the blacksmith is working on the open smith's hearth. The Gazette Printing Office publishes a weekly newspaper in lead type.
In the school house the teacher sweeps the floor. A map of North America of 1866 hangs in the classroom.
The agricultural activities including the cheese-making are carried out with the means and techniques available at that time.
The dressmaker is also seems very convincing. Her own creations are based on the designs of Paris fashion magazines like Godey's. If one listens to her, one feels actually put back into that time.
The shelves in the Crysler Store are filled with goods that were available the time of Canadian Confederation.
Upper Canada Village is open all day from the end of May by the beginning of September. It is a popular destination for adults and children who want to experience the life of the pioneers in the 19th Century firsthand.

Das Freilichtmuseum Upper Canada Village liegt am Sankt-Lorenz-Strom zwischen Montreal und Ottawa, 11 km östlich von Morrisburg in der kanadischen Provinz Ontario.
Im Museumsdorf Upper Canada Village wurden Originalgebäude der so genannten „Lost Villages wiederaufgebaut, die beim Bau der Schleusenanlagen des großen St. Lorenz Seewegs geflutet wurden.
Das ganze Dorf lebt den Alltag einer verflossenen Epoche um das Jahr 1860. Das Brot wird von Hand gebacken, der Schmied arbeitet wie damals an der offenen Esse und im Gazette Printing Office wird die wöchentliche Zeitung noch in Bleisatz hergestellt.
In der Dorfschule fegt die Lehrerin noch persönlich den Boden. Im Klassenzimmer hängt eine Landkarte Nordamerikas von 1866.
Die landwirtschaftlichen Tätigkeiten, einschließlich des Käsemachens, geschehen mit den damals verfügbaren Mitteln und Techniken.
Sehr überzeugend wirkt auch die Schneiderin. Sie erzählt, wie sie die Ideen für ihre Entwürfe aus Pariser Modezeitschriften, wie Godey's Magazin, bezieht und dann nach eigenen Vorstellungen in ihre Kreationen umsetzt. Wenn man ihr zuhört, fühlt man sich tatsächlich in jene Zeit zurück versetzt.
Der Regale im Dorfladen sind voll mit den Waren aus der Zeit der Kanadischen Konföderation.
Upper Canada Village ist von Ende Mai bis Anfang September durchgehend geöffnet. Für Erwachsene und Kinder das Leben der Pioniere im 19. Jahrhundert hautnah erleben wollen ist ein Besuch in Upper Canada sehr zu empfehlen.
