Moreston Sundays - Spring Preview

Take a step back in time and celebrate our pioneer heritage with a "sneak peek" of Moreston, our Heritage Village. With the smell of wood smoke in the air, visitors can start their summer by taking a stroll back in time at the Moreston Sunday Spring Preview day from 1 to 4 p.m. Nestled in pristine countryside, Moreston Heritage Village, at Grey Roots Museum & Archives, is complete with period buildings, traditional cedar rail fences, a vegetable and herb garden, as well as other authentic details typical of a local village in the 19th century. Enjoy wandering through the Village and talking with knowledgeable, costumed volunteers about life in those by-gone days.

Please note that due to the historic nature of the buildings, some are not fully accessible. The site itself, the Blacksmith Shop, the Barn, the Bandstand and the main area of the Garage and Schoolhouse are all accessible.
