village setting featuring authentic buildings dating back to 1826. Our
programs are designed to provide solid, hands-on enhancements to your
pioneer studies. Feedback from students, teachers and the Boards of
Education in Windsor, Essex and Chatham-Kent counties over the years has
been outstanding.
Our programs are presented by an
experienced professional, and are aided by talented and dedicated
volunteers.

charge for teachers and chaperones.

In-School Program
Let us bring the pioneer past to you. We will bring historic artifacts and
pioneer information to your classroom for your students to examine with
their own hands. Students will manipulate tools children used from the home,
the farm and the schoolhouse, including: a yoke for carrying buckets of
water, a carpet beater, a butter churn, slate and chalk, a hornbook and a
threshing tool. But pioneer life was not all work! Our presenter will also
bring an assortment of vintage reproduction toys for a real pioneer playtime
that is sure to incite wonder and laughter.
This program is available Monday to Friday
any time during your school year. The program runs approximately 1 ½ to 2
hours in duration at a cost of only $100.00. Additional classes scheduled
for the same day are $80.00.
Testimonials
* "Finally! A schoolhouse program that is
interactive. Great!"
*
"The students enjoyed their day at the village. They enjoyed the
pioneer recess activities and the new scavenger hunt (Village Detective
game) was a great addition. The pioneer clothing helped add to their
experience."
*
"The changes (to the program) were very student friendly. The children
really enjoyed playing with the pioneer toys. Also, the scavenger hunt
(Village Detective game) allowed them to see all the buildings in an active,
involved way. They loved the old favourites too, such as candle-making and
visiting the jail. Thanks for a wonderful day!"
*
"Excellent program. The leaders were very knowledgeable and
understanding of children and their needs."

"This was my 5th visit to Heritage Village. I am looking forward to
next year!"
