Black Creek is a working village, typical of those established in south central Ontario between the 1790s and the 1860s. At Black Creek you are invited to escape the modern world, and experience Ontario’s rich rural heritage.

It has been my understanding that Black Creek depicts a village at the time of Confederation in Canada that being 1867, the Mennonite fundraiser was put on by the Mennonite Central Committee, Pennsylvania German Folklore Society-York Chapter, and others that's what I meant by a German festival.

I'm fascinated by German immigration as well as Scots. I am a descendant of Johan Jacob Offin, a Palatine refugee to New York in 1710.

Thanks for these pictures, which bring back great memories of going to that MCC sale with my (Mennonite) family when I was a young teen. I never saw anyone there in a kilt back then (alas).
