Upper Canada Village: Experience Life in the 1860s
Filed in archive Hidden Gems on August 24, 2008
Ah, life in the 1860s. With a horse drawn carriage, period pieces and quilt making as a hobby, life in this period feels like a distant past. Unless you happen to visit Upper Canada Village.
Located in Morrisburg, Ontario (a little northwest of Buffalo, NY and above the Great Lake Erie), Upper Canada Village is like an outdoor museum, and similar to Colonial Williamsburg.
There are mills, trade shops, churches and factories that are well preserved relics of this period. All the buildings are authentic and you'll see people in period costumes that aim to reproduce the exact way of life during the 1860s.
The village is just adjacent to the st. lawrence river in Canada.
If you think about it, the 1860s housed some really milestone events, from the American Civil War and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. In 1869 Canada officially acquired the Hudson Bay territories.

Good Day. I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb & Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together.
