Experience the day to day life of a Peace Country pioneer at the Lac Cardinal Pioneer Village Museum.  Stroll through this depiction of a typical 1920s to 1940s pioneer village and experience what life would have been like for these hardy pioneers.  Immerse yourself in history as you tour four fully furnished houses, a school, a blacksmith shop and a general store! You can practically smell the bread baking in the bakery! The village also includes a fire hall, municipal office, carpenter shop, church, barn and library!Â
Pioneer Day celebrations are held annually on the second Saturday of August. This is a great way to enjoy the museum! Start your day with a pancake breakfast and then actually see the saw mill, threshing machine and blacksmith in operation! Witness butter being churned the old- fashioned way and then take a horse and wagon ride! Enjoy a lunch of beef on a bun and pie while listening to the musical entertainment on offer.Â
