Discover previously untold stories of the founding of the Museum of Indian Archaeology and Pioneer Life (now Museum of Ontario Archaeology) and Fanshawe Pioneer Village in London. Learn about the archaeological excavations at the Southwold Earthworks, Clearville, Burley, Fairfield (Moraviantown Mission) and Forget sites. See how the provincial government supported both the excavations and reconstructions of not only Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons but also the Penetanguishene Naval and Military Establishments (now Discovery Harbour) in Huronia. Understand the roles that Wilf and Elsie played in the genesis and early history of the Ontario Historical Society and the Archaeological and Historic Sites Board of Ontario. And, along this journey, meet various dignataries that these three distinguished individuals met and interacted with as they documented Ontario's cultural heritage.
