Help Keep History Alive!

Our programs and daily activities connect our communities with local history by inspiring, sharing, and preserving our past through uniquely interactive experiences, but we cannot do it without you!

Your gift to Fanshawe Pioneer Village will help us replace our hands-on games so kids can play, allow us to re-shingle a roof, or add a ramp to a building. It is a big job, caring for 33 heritage buildings and 40,000 artifacts— but with those responsibilities comes the fun of sharing local history lessons and inspiring our community to connect with the past!
