Fun Facts

Black Creek Pioneer Village started on an entirely different location. Just north of today’s Black Creek Pioneer Village is an area known as the “North Property.” Here, you can find a two-hundred year old log barn, which once housed a museum and was called Dalziel Pioneer Park. That museum grew to the south, and became Black Creek Pioneer Village.

Several heritage buildings are still located on the North Property. Although not typically open to the public, it is used for film shoots, festivals, and other special programs.
