Whether your family’s Italian story goes back generations or you simply want to experience something new, everyone is welcome to join.

Students will explore the Twenty Valley Trail and Sho’arishon Park: a Neutral Nation legacy site, discovering the natural and cultural history of the land around the museum. Through interactive activities and guided discussion, learners will explore the geological forces that shaped Niagara, the importance of waterways, and the enduring connections Indigenous peoples have with this land.

The day will also include hand building with clay, where students will explore the history and traditions of pottery. Participants will examine real museum artifacts, learn about local Indigenous history, and create two clay pieces inspired by traditional making practices to take home.

Experience an exclusive in-depth tour of the site delivered by the site manager who literally ‘wrote the book’ on the fort. On this special tour, you’ll be guaranteed to avoid the crowds and hear stories not often told during regular hours. You’ll also get to handle artifacts that were actually at the fort during the War of 1812 and witness a musket firing demonstration! 

For those who enjoy history, this tour is a must! Tour groups will be limited in size, so reserve your tickets soon.

Micah Lexier’s Dog Days of Ontario Culture Days is a conceptual art project exploring the ritual and culture of dogs and their humans. Dog Days of Ontario Culture Days consists of a pair of independent yet thematically linked components:

Guess Your Dog’s Age or Weight: A performance in which a “carnival guesser” attempts to accurately guess a dog’s age or weight. In exchange for a donation to a local dog charity, dog owners will receive a custom-minted coin as a memento of having participated in the project

A Portrait of The Person Making a Portrait of Your Dog: A live drawing activation where visitors receive a free sketch of their dog by a local sketch artist, while a second artist sketches the first artist at work. Dog owners get to keep their sketch, while Micah Lexier keeps the second sketch, to be included in a subsequent publication.

Donations support The Farley Foundation, a charity that helps pets across Ontario receive essential veterinary care.
