Entering Pickering Museum Village is like stepping through time.

"Wanted - William Lyon Mackenzie - One Thousand Pounds,
to any one who will apprehend, and deliver up to Justice, David Gibson - or samuel Lount - or Jesse Lloyd - or Silas fletcher - and the same reward and a free pardon will be given to any of their accomplices who will render this public service, exept he or they shall have committed, in his own person, the crime of Murder or Arson.

And all, but the leaders above-named, who have been seduced to join in this unnatural Rebellion, are hereby called to return to their duty to their sovereign - to obey the Laws - and to live henceforward as good and faithful Subjects - and they will find the Government of their Queen as indulgent as it is just.

God Save the Queen, Thursday, 3 o'clock, P.M. 7th Dec., 1837
The Party of Rebels, under their Chief Leaders is wholly dispersed, and flying before the Loyal Militia. The only thing that remains to be done, is to find them, and arrest them."
