The Canadian Transportation museum houses many fine and historic vehicles dating all the way from the mid-1800s all the way through the 1992 Dodge Viper. It contains a variety of vehicles, including oxen- and horse-drawn carts, a horse-drawn hearse from 1904, and one of the only 117 Ford vehicles made by Ford of Canada in their first year of operation.
Their displays offer a fully representational cross-section of southern Ontario's vehicle manufacturing.

The Historical Village features over a dozen buildings of local significance, including the homestead of Jack Miner, a local who gained international fame as a naturalist. His bird sanctuary has been designated an Historic Site by the Province of Ontario. It is still in full operation after over 100 years.
