Exploring a Century

Grade 6, 7, 8

This program looks at life in London and Middlesex County between 1820 and 1920, and examines how the museum uses buildings and artifacts to tell stories of the past. In the morning, students will join our educators for a mini tour in the Heritage Village to learn about different experiences in this region and discuss the effects of colonialism. After lunch, students will rotate through stations that explore changing technologies, tools and trades, the role of newspapers, and how home life changed over the century.
