Many of the buildings in Upper Canada Village were transported directly from the villages to be flooded.

Featured at the site are over 40 historical buildings, including several working mills (woollen mill, grist-mill and sawmill) and trades buildings (blacksmith, tinsmith, cabinetmaker, cooper, bakery, cheese-maker) all demonstrated by staff dressed in clothing of the period.
