Ault Park, Living museum in Ontario, Canada
The Lost Villages Museum at Ault Park displays buildings relocated from communities submerged during the St. Lawrence Seaway construction in the 1950s.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1956 and 1958 uncovered artifacts from multiple indigenous cultures dating back approximately 3500 years.
The museum preserves the heritage of flooded villages through restored structures, including homes, schools, and churches from the original communities.
Visitors can explore three campgrounds with over 400 waterfront sites, two beaches, and multiple hiking trails along the St. Lawrence River.
The park sits on land that was reconstructed after the original Sheek's Island location was completely submerged during the Seaway project.
