Stong Family's First House

Visit the oldest surviving structure at Black Creek Pioneer Village — a humble, storied home built in 1816 by Daniel and Elizabeth Stong, the pioneering family whose legacy anchors the entire village. Walking through these walls is like stepping into the very earliest chapter of settler life in what would become modern-day Toronto. Simple, quiet, and genuinely moving, it's the kind of place that makes history feel immediate and personal rather than distant and textbook-dry. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
