Today, London, Ontario is the tenth largest city in Canada, a bustling metropolis of more than 350,000 people. Archaelogists, however, discovered in the mid-nineteenth century that London was but a tiny village 500 years ago.
The “London’s First Village” exhibit traces the history of archeological excavations since that discovery of a Neutral Iroquoian village and the knowledge gained of first peoples in the area.
The exhibit also tracks the evolution of the village reconstruction and operating museum that have been erected adjacent to the ongoing site excavations. The Museum of Ontario Archaeology now stands as a community resource dedicated to the preservation of the history of the London area.
