At this re-creation of a 1000-year-old Haudenosaunee longhouse community, village structures are encircled by a protective wall and maze. Self-guided tour pamphlets are available at the visitors center, where a small museum showcases artifacts from nearby archaeological sites dating back to AD 800. Located 27km west of London, on a 63-hectare reserve with wooded hiking trails and green expanses.
