This house was in the hands of a Scottish family for close to 200 years, the last inhabitants died off a few years ago and it was given to Black Creek Pioneer Village, they are now in the process of restoring the inside to original specifications. This part of the tour was not open to the general public but if you took the wagon ride you got to see it. 
This was another home that was left to Black Creek 
This barn is one of the oldest in Ontario, it's being worked on as well.  
If you look closely through the trees you can just make out the graveyard where the original settlers are burried 
That's about all the photos I've got, thanks for looking.

Great pics, Glen. Did these German settlers come over in the 1840's like those that settled Frankenmuth in MI? Between Houston and San Antonio along the I-10 corridor are several German-Czech communities that also originated in the mid-19 C.
