What to expect
Lang Pioneer Village Museum is a living history museum featuring over 30 restored and furnished historic buildings, many of which were donated from the surrounding townships. The buildings, constructed between 1820 and 1910, are interpreted by costumed villagers portraying authentic 19th-century pioneer life. Visitors can explore the village, engage with costumed interpreters, watch historic demonstrations, visit farm animals, and experience the sounds of history. The museum also features a working Grist Mill, a Shingle Mill, and a Cheese Factory, among other historic buildings. The village is situated on the shores of the historic Indian River and offers a unique glimpse into the history and culture of Peterborough County
