After a bit of a detour up a very steep hill, the Wendat Village at the Huronia Museum was locate. There the class had an interesting self- guided tour of a pre-contact Huron village. After a brief visit to the Huronia Museum, the bus took the class to the Martyr's Shrine. The Grade 6s enjoyed a picnic lunch and had a chanCe to climb the lookout, from which they could see Georgian Bay. The class was taken on a tour by a cleric. He talked to them about the martyrs and the beautiful church that was designed and built in 1926 to honour them. The Grade 6 class spent the afternoon-at St. Marie-Among-the- Hurons, where they watched an introductory video and were taught by guides dressed in period costume. The guides took the students to many of the buildings at the re-constructed mission, where the students encountered other museum employees dressed to represent the people who lived and worked at St. Marie-Among-the- Hurons. The encountered a couple of priests with different jobs at the mission, someone who worked in the supply room and the architect who designed and supervised the construction of the mission. They had a chance to interact with these historical figures and to participate in discussions about culture, history, agriculture and archeology. In the architect's. house, they also had the opportunity to use tools that would have been used to construct the mission. The visit to St. Marie-Among-the- Hurons taught them about an important period in Catiada's history. The group stopped for supper in Barrie before arriving home.
