Westfield Heritage Centre

Westfield Heritage Centre, Heritage village museum in Flamborough, Canada

Westfield Heritage Centre is an open-air museum on conservation land with over 30 restored buildings representing different periods of Canadian history. The site includes pathways and hiking trails that connect the structures, allowing visitors to move between houses and working areas.

Two high school teachers founded the Westfield Pioneer Village Association in 1961 to save endangered historical buildings in the region. They purchased land near Rockton and began assembling the collection that exists today.

The site demonstrates crafts and farming methods that shaped daily life for people living in this rural area. Visitors observe how these activities were central to how communities worked and survived.

Visitors can explore the pathways and trails during daylight hours, though many historical buildings open only during special events throughout the year. Comfortable shoes are important since there is distance to cover between structures.

The property contains several orchards and beehives that show how European honey bees supported early settlers' farming. These living elements offer visitors insight into practical details of the earlier life being portrayed here.
