We attended a family wedding at the settler's village. It is a great location,the ceremony was i the chapel, beautiful property for photos and the guests. A tour around the village while photos are being taken. The reception was in the barn which a a beautiful,rustic spot. The staff are friendly and very helpful.
We are glad to be apart of the garden tour and happy to hear that you had a good time.
We always try to visit early settlers' villages whenever we can - this one did not disappoint. Although rather small, we enjoyed the authentic displays and talking with the knowledgeable staff. We will probably visit again.
We were there for a wedding a really nice location.Very well kept .Enjoyed how all the buildings were open for viewing during pictures. The staff we spoke to were very friendly and knowledgableA good family attraction.
The Art Show will be in July this summer (2015) - two days to view the art of numerous local and out of town artists - well worth the visit
A real gem to tour for an hour or two whilst visiting Bobcaygeon...authentic local structures have been relocated here...many special events hosted during the year here.
Many reconstructed buildings. Youth and adult events supported by community volunteers. Worth a visit.
Well-run museum buildings accurately display the lives of rural settlers in central Ontario. Great staff, fun for kids and adults.
I am a big fan of the Settlers' Village in Bobcaygeon, Ontario. It offers a wide array of buildings that represent the 19th century settler experience as it pertains to the Bobcaygeon area: an actual setters' cabin, in this case that of the Junkin family, one of the oldest families in the area; an orange lodge (the Orange Lodge of Bobcaygeon surely must be one of the last of such lodges to hold a march on July 12th!); a general store, blacksmith shop and so on. While the train station vanished a few decades ago, the Village has recreated a miniature, a "maquette," of the station and its grounds, with moving trains, turntable, cattle pens and so on. The staff is friendly, and once a year there's a Settlers' Day at the Village. It's well worth a visit. For further information, see http://settlersvillage.org/
