The Huron/Ouendat Village
The Huron/Ouendat Village represents life between AD 1500-1600, just prior to the arrival of Europeans. The village has the following components: shaman’s lodge, wigwam, masks, fish racks, longhouse, sweat lodge, corn field, bone pit, fur drying rack, burial rack.

Visitors can climb our look out tower, imagine the surrounding landscape in the time of Huron and even try out the beds in the longhouse! Kids can join the interpretive staff and make a little something to take home with them. The Huron Ouendat Village is open every day from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm.
