After the initial settlement period, he immigrants were able to acquire oods from Montreal, the United tater and Europe to help make heir lives more comfortable and Iso to reflect their growing rosperity. Many things were made their spare time and both the ooden spice box and sampler tell e viewer something of life in 19th- entury Ontario. Heirlooms for the exhibit were elected from the permanent lleetions of the Royal Ontario useum and include silver, china, mall household articles, children's ys, christening items, writing plements, and accessories for en and women.
