Take a Trip Back In Time Lang Pioneer Village Museum

Are you ready to travel after a long winter cooped up at home? This summer take your local travels in a new direction by travelling back in time to the years between 1800 to 1910. Established in 1967, Lang Pioneer Village Museum brings Peterborough County’s history to life on 25 acres along the banks of the Indian River. At the Village, you become the explorer of more than 30 historic buildings from a wigwam, to a rough cabin, to a Victorian home; from a blacksmith shop to a General Store to a Weaver Shop and more.

With safety precautions a priority, a costumed interpreter will guide your group through some of the homes and businesses within the Village, introducing you the people and events that have shaped local history. Not only will you learn about the hardships and joys of local settlers, you will also discover the history and culture of the Michi Saagiig Anishnaabeg at Aabnaabin Camp, a partnership project with Curve Lake First Nation and Hiawatha First Nation. Beginning on Father’s Day, the Museum will be open Wednesday through Sunday until Labour Day weekend. Lang Pioneer Village Museum is Safe Travels certified so you can rest assured that your visit will be safe for your whole group. Tours must be booked in advance by visiting www.langpioneervillage.ca.

For those that would prefer to visit the historic Village virtually, you can do so by purchasing a Live Q & A with a Museum staff member. Spend 30-minutes engaging virtually with a costumed staff member in the building of your choice (select buildings available) and enjoy a live private virtual tour of the building, its artifacts and stories.
