Cumberland Heritage Village Museum — Attraction in Ottawa

My mom decided to tell me if I wanted to join my siblings to go to an outside museum. I was truly intereSted but did not expect this! Barely half an hour from downtown Ottawa, so a full hour drive from my place in Gatineau! The whole experience was great! Despite the lack of farm animals on the day I was there, I truly enjoyed my experience. The whole vintage aesthetic of the village is beautiful and the renovated houses are beautiful! With houses, stores and different buildings of the time, it’s a nice experience If you want to have a journey to the past! Also on site were merchants and traders showing off their ware of steam engines to entertain and explain more about the time’s engines and ways of life! To add a cherry on top, wagon rides, renovated trains and tractors offer a nice tour of the premises. I’d be cutting this short if there weren’t so many great timely employees showing demonstrations and exhibiting attractions! On the day I went there was a Barbeque on site along with a little band of Cello, guitar and violin! I truly enjoyed being able to read about each building and their history along with who they belonged to/ their original placement. In short, for a day out, a learning experience or even to just get away from it all, go and see for yourself the Cumberland Heritage Village museum. You will...

A great experience for just about everyone I happened to be in the area running some errands when I saw this lovely recreation of what used to be the town about 100-125 years ago. The buildings are in great condition, the docents are excellent and helpful, all decked out in period clothing, speaking about the life experiences of their characters! I was there almost at closing time, yet they took me over the places I was most interested in seeing such as the one room schoolhouse. We talked about lots of things, such as demographics served, teaching conditions, students lives, lifecycle of the building (which was an actual school, not a replica) and the events surrounding its closure. All in all, CHV is a very engaging place, and it is a great outing, whether you are taking your out of town guests, your children or you just want to learn more about life in ON as it was during the Agricultural Era. NB: Pictures were taking by me...

I absolutely loved it! Very well organized, well kept and highly maintained. We got the chance to go back in time to the 1900s. The gentleman at the millsaw even did a demonstration for us. I loved the old school building, the church, the old train, the millsaw... There are some farm animals as well such as horses, bunnies, hens, cow etc. They had a scavenger hunt today and my children enjoyed their time doing it. They learned different things about the old day. This place is a cultural wealth, it is a real valuable heritage and a precious gem! Washrooms available, I would say stroller friendly, parking available and most of all they have a family package for admission of about 22$. Staff is very friendly, welcoming and professional. Open Wed. To Sunday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. They host different events and post them on their social media platforms....
