Fanshawe Pioneer Village

fanshawe 1812 - The Invasion of Upper Canada

This was cool, actually this was extremely cool. I did not know what to expect and with the weather in London Ont. we did not stay long. We did not get any photos of the actual reenactment of the battle, it was cold and it kept raining but, as you walk around everyone is living as they did in 1812. Clothes, tents, furnishings. Even the way they eat, they cook over a fire and for theses two days live in their tents. The coolest thing is everywhere you look there is a photo just waiting to be captured and i just love the realness of this.              I'm really hoping I get to this place next year, now knowing what to expect and if there's better weather, get all of the photos I would like. I never knew of this place and Matt a friend of Michele's at her work, told us about this. Matt has been doing this since the mid 80's and is one of the Soldiers. Matt gave us a tour and explained why they were doing the things we came across as we walked through the village. Matthew Drouillard is the one on the left in this first photo and Miles Whitney, Matts friend is on the right as a six Nations Native, Thanks guys, Michele and I had a great time.
