Black Creek Pioneer Village is an open-air heritage museum that is located northwest of downtown Toronto on Murray Ross Parkway west of York University. The Village overlooks Black Creek, which flows into the Humber River. The Village, which first opened in 1960, recreates life in 19th century Ontario and offers visitors a glimpse into the past.

There are more than forty 19th century buildings all decorated in the style of the 1860s and arranged with pieces of period furniture. The buildings include houses, a one-room schoolhouse, a church, and a general store, among other features. The Village also features visiting artisans as well as historical re-enactments, and it can be rented for special events. Black Creek Pioneer Village is open every day from May 1 to December 23.
