Join us at Edgington Station for a one-of-a-kind experience rooted in creativity, sustainability, and local heritage. Our new Re-Creators Experience invites you to step into a slower rhythm—walking the historic rail line, working with natural and salvaged materials, and crafting a timeless object with your own hands. A delicious light snack of local cheese, meats, crackers, and baked goods rounds out this perfect afternoon in the village.
This immersive experience is more than just a workshop; it’s a tactile journey through the cultural and environmental history of our region. You'll learn to work with traditional tools and repurposed materials, building practical skills and meaningful memories. Set against the rustic charm of our heritage village and grounded in values of reuse, community, and connection to place, the Re-Creators Experience is a powerful invitation to “make do beautifully.”
Created and hosted by three sisters with a shared passion for upcycling and storytelling, the workshop blends craftsmanship, history, and outdoor activity. We believe this experience will appeal to creative explorers, small groups, and solo travelers alike.
Whether you leave with a beautifully made wood project, a new appreciation for heritage practices in an Ontario village, or simply a deeper connection to the land beneath your feet, we’re certain you’ll take away more than you arrived with.
Watch this spot for 2026 program date announcements.
Hands-On
Experience the pleasure of making a sturdy wood tote using salvaged materials and simple tools. Prior experience with tools is not required - we’ll guide you through everything. However, we do recommend clothing you won't mind getting dirty. You'll be working with wood, hand tools, and wood oil and that tends to get a bit messy.
All tools and safety equipment for use during the event, including safety glasses, work gloves, aprons, and earplugs will be available on site for your use.
Parking for a few cars is available in front of the shop. If all spots are full, parking is allowed on the side street across the road. Please don’t park on the highway or sidewalks.
Prior to the program we'll send you last-minute details and a waiver form. Please read, print, sign the waiver, and bring it with you. If you don’t have access to a printer, please read it anyway. We'll have a copy for you to sign on arrival.
Be prepared for a relaxing yet engaging experience as we connect with nature, history, and creativity!
