Doon Heritage Crossroads   |
Doon Heritage Village at the Waterloo Region Museum reopens May 1, 2010.
Waterloo Region Museum exhibits will open in 2011. |
Set against 60 beautiful acres of environmentally sensitive forest, marsh and farmland, Doon Heritage Village is a living history museum, re-creating a rural village and two farms, where costumed interpreters welcome you to the year 1914. Over 20 historic buildings, period furnishings, farm animals, heritage gardens, and demonstrations of daily chores help 40,000 visitors annually to discover an exciting era of change in Canadian history.
Each year over 18,000 school children and their teachers participate in educational programs which enlighten and inform.
Throughout our May to December season, we play host to a number of special events which offer fun filled opportunities for family entertainment. Whether it's vintage fire trucks on display, fall fair exhibits of prize winning baking and preserves, or the joy of singing carols during the Christmas season, you'll find something for everyone at Doon Heritage Village.
Waterloo Region Museum is also home to the Waterloo Region Curatorial Centre, the main repository and preservation facility for the Region of Waterloo's museum collections. This modern conservation and storage facility completed in 1995 ensures that tens of thousands of historically important artifacts are preserved for future generations. Waterloo Region Museum is owned and operated by the Region of Waterloo.
We invite you to join us at Doon Heritage Village, where we bring history to life!
