Ska-Nah-Doht Village and Museum

Ska-Nah-Doht Village and Museum Ska-Nah-Doht Village and Museum features a recreated longhouse village similar to those from 1000 years ago, an indoor museum, and three Heritage Log Cabins.

Located in the beautiful surroundings of Longwoods Road Conservation Area, and owned and operated by the Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority. Although not built on an actual site, Ska-Nah-Doht Village is based on data collected by archaeologists and from the traditions passed on by First Nations people. Explore the village and outdoor exhibits-- find your way through the palisade maze, take

a seat in one of the longhouses, pretend to grind corn into flour in a wooden mortar and pestles, enjoy the view from the lookout. Be sure to visit the Heritage Log Cabins , donated by the local First Nations communities and Ska-Nah-Doht Museum while you are here. The village is wheelchair accessible, weather permitting.

For about another week or so, the Museum will have some special residents. Our seasonal team saved some Monarch caterpillars last week. They made chrysalids not long after being ensconced safely in an enclosure with extra milkweed. They should hatch into Monarchs butterflies towards the end of the month.

The Munsee-Delaware Cabin, also known as the Dolson or Logan Cabin (the largest of the three Heritage Log Cabins), was built circa the 1880s. The Cabin was donated by Chief William B. Dolson on behalf of the Munsee-Delaware Nation in 1972.

Chief Dolson spent his boyhood in this cabin. He was first elected Chief of the
Munsee-Delaware Nation of the Thames in 1940 at the age of 27.

The Munsee-Delaware settled along the Thames River in the late 18th century at the close of the American Revolution. They are a member of the Lenape Confederacy.
