Upper Canada Village Part 2 – Morrisburg, Ontario

Here are some more of the shots captured during a recent visit to the heritage park and tourist attraction known as Upper Canada Village in Morrisburg, Ontario. In case you missed it last week, you can find Part 1 here.

Garden Shed…yes the door is in there somewhere…

The broom-makers store, ’cause having good brooms was important in the mid-1800’s

Storage shed for the stables

Fancy-pants transportation

Main door to the stables

Simple rural village = simple rural church

One of the few brick buildings in the town, the Tavern…priorities I guess 😉

Willard’s Hotel & Restaurant – for those who want to eat or stay onsite.

Red Barn

Moving hay the old fashioned way

Dressed like this the could be headed for Sunday School

The Cabinetmaker’s Shop

A 19th century version of a wide load

A weathered two-fer (2 doors in 1 shot)

Firewagon shed

With all those wooden buildings a town’s just gotta have a fire wagon

For those of you in Canada and the U.S. I hope you enjoy the Labour Day long weekend.

As always, thank you for looking 🙂

    I like the red barn and the doors. I had a pretty good holiday. I got my Fall decorating done on Labor Day.

    Man, those sheds, the weathered wood — sublime finds. And the carriage. Really good stuff.
    Thinking about wooden sidewalks now, too…

    I’ve missed browsing everyone’s Thursday Doors posts, but what a week to get back in the loop! That’s a pretty cool idea, making a replica town like that. Puts in perspective how far we’ve come too. It is good they’ve got the fire department sorted, and even better that they probably won’t have to worry about the tavern burning down 😉

    I don’t know how you find all of these locations with great buildings and doors but you should make a map of your posts so we can look up your locations if we’re travelling nearby. Awesome images, Norm!

    Hi Norm,
    Greetings for another week. I enjoyed part two of your visit to Upper Canada Village. My favourite was the very quaint white rural church. It was exquisite yet very simple. I also enjoyed all the photos of the re-enactments, which really helped to bring the place alive and I had a real sense of being there.
    This week, I’ve posted a smorgasbord of red doors and have also raised the question of what prompts someone to paint their front doors red. I’d love to hear from a few budding philosophers out there: https://beyondtheflow.wordpress.com/2019/08/30/a-festival-of-red-doors-thursday-doors/
    Hope you have a great week.
    Best wishes,
    Rowena

    These are wonderful photos, Norm. I thoroughly enjoyed this 2-part tour. I noted some new wood in places, it’s good to see they keep up with the maintenance. That can’t be easy or cheap. It’s amazing how long some of the simple structures have survived.

    IDiferent to have a change of pace showing in your post:) I live in a rural environment, but still with a city lifestyle:) It would be torturous though to get stuck driving behind a wagon with hay! Probably a needed warning to stay off the carriage:)

        How do you know?? In Europe the two lane roads are still much more common, so we sometimes had to exercise our patience, getting stuck behind a non-motorized vehicle:)

    Charming as this village looks, I know I’d not enjoy living like this. However your photos are great and the doors look authentic to the time period. One in which I wouldn’t want to live. Did I mention that?

    I like the red barn. It took me a while to realize that the doors weren’t the entire size of the unusual cut-out … a little decorative feature on an otherwise plain building 🙂
    … and I love the shot of the hay wagon. Unless I was driving behind it, then I might not like it so much.
