SCHOOLHOUSE RESTORATION

One of our main goals for 2024 is installing electricity in the Schoolhouse. This is a wonderful event space, and an electrical system will allow us to use it more regularly for community functions.

ABOUT US 

Wesleyville village is a 19th century village, under restoration by the Friends, situated on the north shore of Lake Ontario in Port Hope, Ontario, Canada. The village is located on a quiet, beautiful stretch of Lakeshore Road west of downtown Port Hope. The heritage village exudes a relaxed, peaceful aura, with the only sounds coming from the birds that flit from tree to tree and among the time-weathered headstones in the graveyard at the rear of the grounds.

Throughout time the Wesleyville Village site on the bountiful shoreline of Lake Ontario has been occupied and respected by various indigenous peoples: the Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Anishinaabeg people. The Friends of Wesleyville Village wish to acknowledge the dynamic relationship between this environment and indigenous peoples. Wesleyville is located on the traditional territory of the Mississauga Nation.
