created one of the highlights of the talk was the description of cry- sler farm battlefield park and the historic upper canada vil lage created by the ontario st lawrence development com mission on the new lake st lawrence shoreline about five miles east of morrisburg the crysler farm battlefield park consisting of 2000 acres of beautifully landscaped park land is a tribute to the soldiers and settlers of early canada it was here that one of the decis ive battles of the war of 181214 was fought overlooking the park is the battle monument situated on memorial mound this mound constructed from earth taken from the battlefield before the st lawrence power project flooding is at the end of an impressive mall flanked by rows of oaks and maples at the foot of the mound stands the battle memorial building with its murals tablets and var ious historic mementos of the actual battle at upper canada village a visitor gets the impression of the calendar being turned back more than a hundred years and having the opportunity of step ping into the midst of some of canadas early history all the nostalgic charm of the past is captured and held in upper can ada village it is the recreation of a typical st lawrence val ley community of the 19th cen tury and all the more than 40 buildines have been relocated in the village from their original sites along the river bank and each has been restored or re furbished with painstaking ac curacy paradoxically upper canada village exists today because of the strides of modern progress when the gigantic st lawrence power project and the seaway were undertaken in 195458 it meant the end of existence of several small towns along the ontario shoreline of the inter national rapids section because their sites were completely inun dated by the rivers deepening and widening the decision to proceed with the planning and building of this realistic and typ ical village of the past also the historical crysler farm battle field park is a tribute to the imaginative forwardthinking planning by the parks commis sion and its chairman the hon george challies also former premier frost and the ontario government to create an auth entic permanent link with can adas early history and provide a valuable attraction old buildings preserved upper canada village nestles peacefully on the shore of the new lake st lawrence and be- causes of its historically accur ate development mirrors faith fully an important era in this nations early history some of the oustanding buildings in this village include cooks tavern the original building having been used as headquarters by the us general wilkinson during the battle of cryslers farm in nov ember 1813 this tavern was a famous inn on the old coach road along the river shore trav ellers journeying by coach be tween kingston and montreal used to stop at this wellknown hostelry as well as those travel ling by bateaux coming up the river the tavern was exten sively damaged by the battle of 1813 but was later rebuilt after the owner michael cook claimed war damages it is now furnish ed and restored to its appear ance in 1835 when it was a busy inn crysler hall the most impos ing building in the village was built by john pliny crysler and has been restored externally to its exact original condition it is a classical structure with its white doric columns and brick wings of majestic appearance the interior now is being userf as a museum of settlement con taining documents pictures ut ensils jewellery etc telling the way of life in the various small villages of the area in the past there are a number of his torical homes as well as two fine old churches one of the is christ church moved from moullnette and is typical of an i anglican church of 1837 the other church is providence church from eastons corners built about 1850 and used by all denominations whenever the appropriate clergyman or circuit rider arrived mr macintosh pointed out that one of the significant things about this historical village is the fact that so many of the buildings contain equipment that is being operated today just as it was a century ago for in stance the woollen mill produces wool and the saw mill cuts the wood in the old fashioned ways powered by the force of water streams in several of the build ings various handicrafts are car ried out by people in old time costumes in the manner tht this woik was done in the 19th century it is educational be cause these are not static dis plays but offer so much work ing equipment and activity that there are innumherable things of interest for visitors to see mr macintosh pointed out in conclusion that this historical village has helped to preserve the illustrious heritage of the canadian people and to keep for posterity a faithful reproduction of conditions in the early form ative years in this countrys de velopment and urged his aud ience to go and see this whole area for themselves park
