The Heritage Lodge No.730
and the Black Creek Pioneer Village

Black Creek Masonic
Heritage: The purpose of the Masonic Lodge at Black Creek
Pioneer Village is to present Masonry in a favourable light to the
many visitors who tour the village each year and to give them a
better understanding of the place of Freemasonry in the social
fabric of an 1867 crossroads rural community. The Lodge Room is
furnished with pre-Confederation furnishings and is staffed by
volunteer Masonic Interpreters. The Black Creek Masonic
Heritage Committee shall consist of a Chairman, a Secretary, five
Weekly Captains, the Supervisor of Education and Interpretation at
Black Creek Pioneer Village and several Interpreters who are
interested in serving on the Committee.

A visit to Black Creek
Pioneer Village is a step back in time to 19th-century Ontario.
More than 35 authentically restored homes, workshops, public
buildings and farms recreate the atmosphere of life in a rural
Victorian community of the 1860s. Craftspeople and workers wearing
period costumes demonstrate skills such as open-hearth cooking,
bread-making, looming, milling, blacksmithing, sewing, printing
and more.
Walk through the village and into the homes and buildings, visit
the inn, and stroll through farms and forests. During the holiday
season in November and December, the village offers many special
events to celebrate Christmas as it was 130 years ago.
