The restoration and opening of this building, now the Dalziel Museum, marked the beginning of a programme which has progressively developed to preserve the cultural heritage of our ancestors for present and future generations. This is located in Metropolitan Toronto. This booklet describes the Black Creek Pioneer Village in Metropolitan Toronto." "Black Creek Pioneer Village, previously Dalziel Pioneer Park,[1] is an open-air heritage museum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The village is located in the North York district of Toronto, just west of York University and southeast of the Jane and Steeles intersection.[2] It overlooks Black Creek, a tributary of the Humber River. The village is a recreation of life in 19th-century Ontario and gives an idea how rural Ontario might have looked in the early-to-mid-19th century. The village is a regular destination for field trips by schoolchildren from the Greater Toronto Area. It was opened in 1960 and is operated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.[3] B. Napier Simpson, Jr. 1925-1978, a restoration architect in Ontario devoted his professional life to raising public awareness of the importance of heritage conservation including the Black Creek Pioneer Village project.[4]"
