Country Heritage Park

Country Heritage Park is an agricultural museum spread across a large site near Milton with restored buildings from rural Ontario's past. Visitors walk through historic homes, working areas, and farm structures that show how properties and daily operations functioned in earlier times.

The museum was founded in 1967 when the provincial government acquired a major collection of farming artifacts. This beginning established a place dedicated to preserving the rural history that shaped Ontario for future generations.

The site tells the story of rural life through its buildings and how people once lived and worked in farming communities across Ontario. The collections show everyday objects that bring agricultural labor to life in ways that feel real and tangible.

The site requires time to explore since buildings spread across a large area with walking paths between them. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and prepare for changing weather, as much of the experience involves being outdoors.

The land itself was developed by students from a local technical school who laid out roads and parking areas during a single season. This hands-on training meant that students actually built the project themselves while gaining real work experience.
