April 7- 11 is Archive Awareness Week; this year’s theme is “Reflecting the Communities that Build Us”. Pickering Museum Village is located in the heart of the Greenwood community. In 1843, Frederick Green purchased a mill in what is now Greenwood. The village earned its name from the leadership of the Greens who, for many years, helped make Greenwood known for mills and their bustling business. Though it is no longer a milling hub, Greenwood is still a vibrant and proud community. Greenwood history is just one of many Pickering communities the Pickering Museum Village is proud to care for and share!
