Heritage Village Museum — Attraction in Ivanhoe

We visited this Museum a week ago. It has small indoor display and the real treasure is once you go out to the interior where the village has been setup. There are many period establishments set from moving from the real world. It provides loads of information about the old times and lifestyle.
