The Pickering Museum Village Log Barn and Log House Restoration

The City of Pickering, with ERA Architects and B.A. Construction, has recently restored the Log Barn and Log House, two mid-19th-century structures at the Pickering Museum Village. The restoration team combined traditional and modern construction methods while cleverly concealing evidence of modern techniques. The team also made efforts to reuse materials, such as reclaimed foundation stones, and to source appropriate new materials, like native softwood. This restoration transformed the Log Barn and Log House into welcoming spaces for educational programs and exhibits that celebrate Ontario history at the Pickering Museum Village.
