A horse and buggy ride through Upper Canada Village, Morrisburg ON

I have always wanted to visit Upper Canada Village and when I saw this promotion:

ONTARIO'S BEST VACATION DEAL!

Stretch your vacation dollars further when you visit Upper Canada Village (Morrisburg, Ontario) and Fort Henry National Historic Site of Canada (Kingston, Ontario). With each paid admission, you will receive a free gate admission to visit the other heritage site or to use to visit one of the day-use parks or beach areas, absolutely free.

Our beach areas include Glengarry Beach, Mille Roches Beach, Woodlands Beach, Farran Beach, Crysler Beach and Brown’s Bay Beach.

The reciprocal program is valid for the regular day program during the regular operating season and cannot be used in conjunction with other discounts or specials.

. . . I knew the time was now. I'm so glad we did. It is very similar to Fanshawe Pioneer Village in London ON but much bigger. Everyone we spoke to was very friendly, informative and gave great advice. We arrived late in the afternoon and asked the cashier what was the best way to see as much of the village as possible in just an hour or so and she suggested the horse and buggy tour. So we toured most of the village by horse and buggy and I took way too many photos.

There was also a boat tour available. Maybe another time?

We visited Fort Henry National Historic Site for FREE on the way home from the east coast. More on that later.
