Nestled beside the Niagara Escarpment, the museum is located on a 32 hectare (80 acre) site, 5 kilometers west of Milton. Last year, in its first full season of -operation, . the museum attracted more than 15,000 visitors. This summer, 6 new display areas will be open with the rest of the musuem, from 10 a.m. to 5 daily, until mid-October. The museum is made up of a number of historic homes and farm buildings, some of which have been moved from various parts of the province and reconstructed on the site. Through private donations, loans and pur- chases, the museum has collected more than 17,000 artifacts, including 125 tractors. oC One of the major themes of the museum is to reconstruct farmsteads representing various periods of Ontario rural history. Both an 1830 log house and an 1860 frame house have been restored, furnished and are now open. A growing highlight of the museum is the Crossroads Community, a typical rural community at the turn of the century. New additions to the community this summer include an early 1900's John Deere Dealership, a histori- cal display of the evolution of the Massey-Harris company, and an operative shingle mill. A unique end-drive barn, built in 1882, the Elliott Harrop barn now houses a display of early implement manufacturers. An 1876 church, origingally located in the Listowel area, will be opening mid-summer. Other buildings include the Women's Institute Hall and the blacksmith's shop. The museum is filled with the past, but it also brings the past to life again with demonstrations of blacksmith's techniques, shingle making, weaving, spinning, and dyeing. A cropping program is planned this year to demonstrate farm practices. Services available to the visitor include catering facil- ities, a gift shop, washrooms, and tractor-pulled wagon rides to tour the grounds. Adm{Ssion prices are $1.50 for adults, $1.00 for senior citizens and students, and 75 cents for children. Special rates are $4.00 for families, and $1.00 per person for prearranged bus tours.
