Willo - Bee Museum

. . . Buzzing with Activity

 

 

The Willo-Bee Museum is a web page designed for teachers and students to explore the past of one of Ontario's oldest pioneer communities: Willoughby Township

 

If you would like to fully interact with the past and discover the items and artifacts left behind by early settlers and their descendants, a visit to the Museum in person is your best bet.
If you are considering a trip to the Museum, this will give you a sense of what you will find during your visit.
If you live too far away from the Museum to visit, you can still learn a lot about the pioneer way of life of early Canadian settlers through the Willo-Bee Museum page and its learning resources, activities and upcoming contests.
Be sure and return to this web page often to check out the latest news, because Willo-Bee is the place to be!

Teachers Please note: The focus of this material is the Ontario Curriculum
Social Studies for Grade Three. (Pioneer Life)
