The Jean-Baptiste Lainé site was home to a remarkable 16th-century Huron-Wendat community located in what is now the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville. The exhibit Archaeology Alive! The Jean-Baptiste Lainé Site in Whitchurch-Stouffville opened at the Whitchurch Stouffville Museum & Community Centre in July 2019. Join representatives from the HuronWendat Nation, Archaeological Services Inc., Ryerson University, and the Whitchurch-Stouffville Museum as they discuss the collaborative process that led to the creation of this important exhibit, which includes artifacts from the site on loan from the Canadian Museum of History and the Huron-Wendat Museum, a 3D longhouse experience, and oral histories from Huron Wendat Nation members. Learn about the impact this project has had on the community and beyond.
