Upper Canada Village or Back to the Future. Part 1


In next few reports I will tell you about our Upper Canada Village experience. It would be the end in the series of reports about our short trip from Toronto to Quebec city. We have a lot of photos so this will be the first part of story.

You can see all my reports from this trip via this links: Ottawa, Montreal, Montmorency Falls, Quebec city.

We heard a lot about Upper Canada Village and saw some videos from there that is why have decided to see it. I remember some open air museum in Ukraine but their were like dead museum Upper Canada Village is alive. This museum is located between Montreal and Toronto, much closer to Montreal though. 




It is really live museum, here live work a lot of people.



Their kind of actors because from 9:30 am till 5 pm they are playing roles. 


Roles of an habitants of 19 century village.

Danger on the route from Montreal to Toronto

I would like to share with you top secret information about danger on the 401 Macdonald-Cartier Freeway between Montreal and Toronto.
We hear a lot about Upper Canada Village and we would like to see what it is about. On our way from Montreal to Toronto we have decided to have a break and we turned on exit 770 for County Road 14 to Upper Canada Village.


It was wrong decision cause we got stuck in there...


...and we were being forced to work hard.


We are lucky that we were being rescued.


There a lot of people who stuck there for more than 10 years


It is joke for sure. Upper Canada Village is such a beautiful place when you can see a lot of things from old times and learn. I will tell you more about it little bit later. 


Stay tuned!
