Today, London, Ontario is
the tenth largest city in
Canada, a bustling metropolis
of more than 350,000 people.
Archaelogists, however,
discovered in the mid-
nineteenth century that
London was but a tiny village
500 years ago.
The "London’s First
| Village" exhibit traces the
history of archeological
excavations since that
discovery of a Neutral
Iroquoian village and the
knowledge gained of first
peoples in the area.
The exhibit also tracks
the evolution of the village
reconstruction and operating
| museum that have been erected
adjacent to the ongoing site
excavations. The Museum of
Ontario Archaeology now
stands as a community
resource dedicated to the
preservation of the history
of the London area.
