Moreston Heritage Village, located right at Grey Roots, is open daily from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. July 1st to August 31st.

Moreston is a beautiful 10-acre living history site, home to more than a dozen historic buildings. Costumed interpreters and thousands of artefacts from our collection bring the Village to life, offering visitors a glimpse into Grey County life as it was. From the sight of a 19th century settler tending the garden beside her log cabin home, to the sound of a blacksmith hard at work in the forge - visitors to Moreston are immediately immersed in history.

Access to Moreston Heritage Village is included with admission in July and August.
