Living as close to the year 1865 as we possibly can. Learning as we go and growing as we learn...
Welcome to A Victorian Year in Ontario
Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, the year is 1865, Her Majesty Queen Victoria has reigned since 1837 and we are in the midst of a prosperous era. The purpose of this blog is to record the daily round of chores, tasks, trials and triumphs of our household in rural Upper Canada (now known as Ontario). We have embarked on an experiment to live a year as close to the way it was done in 1865 as we possibly can. We will post our remarks and await your comments, suggestions and critiques. So join us as we travel back in time.

Our buggy
Brian and Danute took this picture of our buggy. Have no idea how to add this to our pic section but thought you might like to see it.

Margaret and Ken Cook live in rural Elgin County on a small two acre farm. We keep Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Barred Rock chickens for eggs and entertainment. We also have many gardens for vegetables and many fruit trees. We will be adding quails, Chantecler's, pheasants, a couple of pigs, some sheep and a goat for grass control, expanding the gardens and putting in more fruit trees. Margaret & Ken are living as close to 1865 as we possibly can in our modern world. In doing this we learn how better to be sustainable and what life was truly like during the Victorian era here in Upper Canada. We hope to encourage others to live perhaps at least some of the time in the quiet gentle world without artificial sound and light. And enjoy the peace of self entertainment and reliance...so please join us in our travels as we work to best emulate this time period and learn what has been so forgotten in our modern world. Ask us questions and visit us when you are able...
