St Lawrence River Lost Villages Museum, Long Sault Canada
This outdoor museum preserves some history of 12 villages flooded by the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1958. On July 1, 1958, water inundated 40,000 acres on both sides of the St. Lawrence River to form a lake. The Seaway was a massive civil engineering project that provided hydroelectric power and Great Lakes access for ocean vessels.

Lost Villages
60 years later, our Jack LaDuke takes a look at the villages, and many lives, changed forever by the building of the St. Lawrence Seaway. In the mid-1950s, it was considered one of the great engineering feats of its time. The United States and Canada teamed up to build a hydro-electric power generating station and the St. Lawrence Seaway opening shipping routes from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes. But the mega project came at a cost. 6-thousand people lost their homes and communities as about a dozen small towns and villages were flooded out of existence. Jack traveled north of the border recently to visit the historic sites and museums dedicated to the Lost Villages of the Seaway.

Upper Canada Village Slideshow
A visit to Upper Canada Village, a living museum in Morrisburg, Ontario in July 2013.
This was made for an archaeology assignment for Coursera. I hope you enjoy it :) I do apologize for the misspelling of Crysler Hall and Crysler Store in the video. There should be no 'h' in the word. As well, the credit page is missing from the end so it stops rather abruptly. At the end of this description are the credits that should appear in the video.
Upper Canada Village came about as a way to preserve the history and some of the very buildings of ten communities in Upper Canada after the St. Lawrence Seaway project was deemed necessary. This project required the flooding of what has become known as the 'Lost Villages' and so, many buildings were moved between two locations - Morrisburg and to Ault Park in a living museum.
With over 40 buildings to wander through, smell, hear and feel, the 19th-century village will come alive in your imagination. There are staff everywhere who will pleasantly explain who they are, where they live and what they do to supply you with even more information to fill your 'life-back-then' fantasies. A lot of them are in the rescued buildings, which have seen minor to major renovations in 1957 to make them safe and secure and kept as authentic to the period as possible. Other buildings house working enterprises supplying both the Village Store with bread and cheese and oft times will supply local businesses as well.
On site is a memorial to the Battle of Crysler's Farm, a battle that took place nearby during the war of 1812.
