Willo-Bee Museum
. . . Buzzing with activity!
Willo-Bee
Museum is the part of the
Willoughby Historical Museum's web page
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 bee!
Teachers: Please
note, the focus of this material is the
Ontario Social
Studies curriculum for Grade Three. (Pioneer
Life)
We're busy bees, hard at work to improve this web page for you.
