The building houses an extensive number of agricultural implements, including the Museum’s Peter Hamilton collection of tools and equipment, as well as a restoration workshop and conservation lab with viewing windows.
262:- Ice blocks were cut in the coldest winter weather using an ice saw. The blocks had to be perfectly square in order to make it easier to load and haul. Sawdust was used in the icehouse as an insulator. The sawdust was so effective that a harvest of ice put in place in cold weather and properly packed with sawdust could last several years. The Ice House at Lang Pioneer Village is a reconstruction circa the 1850s.
143:- Before the Shingle Mill, early settlers had to make their own shingles by splitting cedar with a froe (a tool with a long iron blade that was struck with a heavy mallet) and then shaved to the proper thickness with a drawknife. With the Shingle Mill, hundreds of shingles could be produced in an hour. The cedar shingles on some of the building in the Village were made by this mill.
88:- Built in the 1840s, the Fitzpatrick House represents a settler's second home. It is a storey-and-a-half log home featuring a six-foot-wide stone fireplace which served the dual purposes of heating and cooking. The main living area included the parent's bedroom and a sitting room upstairs and two bedrooms and a large utility area that also served as a sleeping area.
180:- The Print Shop, built in the 1840s, was used to print handbills announcing sales, public notices of election, community event notices and the weekly newspaper for the community. The printer was one of the few well-educated individuals in the village. The Register Print Shop at Lang Pioneer Village has been restored to represent a print shop in the 1880s.
82:- Built prior to 1841, the Ayotte Homestead was moved from its original site on Clear Lake in Smith Township. During the summer months, the wood stove was moved to the summer kitchen so that it did not heat up the house. During the winter months, the stove would be moved back into the primary house and the summer kitchen would be used for cold storage.
