Original Toronto Star caption: History in action was the idea of the display of early farm equipment and pioneer crafts that drew almost 3;000 persons to the Pickering Museum over the weekend. Some of the children enjoyed a ride in a horse-drawn wagon; other people browsed through the 15 buildings or watched chair-caning or wood splitting.
