Harry and I traveled with my sister and her husband, Shirley and Ed, to the Kitchener area. Our first stop was the Doon Heritage Village and the Waterloo Region Museum. We later visited the Cambridge Sculpture Garden.Doon Heritage Village is a picturesque sixty-acre living history village that shows visitors what life was like in Waterloo Region in the year 1914. The village comes to life with knowledgeable interpreters dressed in authentic 1914 clothing and features historic buildings, farm animals and fun activities for the whole family.In the spirit of quilting, the colorful glass panels of the Kitchener Waterloo Region Museum represent the stitching together of many pieces to create a whole. The sixteen colors were selected from quilts in the museum’s collection. The colors and their arrangement on the façade represent a celebration of the Region’s textile traditions. The sixteen colors on the façade have been translated into hexadecimal code used in programming computes, which reflects the Region’s economic strength in technology. The combination in the layout of the panels stand for the twenty-six letters of the English language.In 1800 a fertile ridge overlooking the Grand River attracted the attention of Joseph Schoerg, a Mennonite farmer from Franklin County, Pennsylvania, seeking a new beginning in the Province of Upper Canada (now Ontario). Joseph, his wife Elizabeth and their five children established a 261-acre farm and were among the first Europeans to settle in this area. The Schoergs brought with them building traditions and skills from their homeland. In about 1830, Joseph’s son David built a large Pennsylvania style bank barn, so named because it was built into the hillside. The bank barn was suited to the Waterloo Region as the climate and landforms were similar to those in Pennsylvania. David later changed the spelling of their surname to Sherk. The barn remained on the site for almost 175 years until it was dismantled in 2004. The timbers from the Sherk barn have been cut into planks and used to cover the walls of Museum’s entrance corridor and lobby.Waterloo Region’s story spans thousands of years, from First Nation’s peoples first connections to this land, to European settlement and industrialization, to the high-tech community of today. Museum collections are based on objects that people have made, used and saved through the generations. Each object has its own story to tell and it is through these stories that we learn about our own history.The Cambridge Sculpture Garden is nestled along the Grand River.
