Though not exactly required viewing, the replica Ska-Nah-Doht Iroquoian village (Mon-Fri 9am-4.30pm; donation; tel 519/264-2420), situated 32km southwest of London on Hwy 2, makes for an enjoyable jaunt. Built in 1972, the complex contains a resource centre, where you can gather background information before walking out to the village, which is enclosed by a timber palisade. Inside the palisade are storage areas, drying and stretching racks, a sweat house and three long-houses; outside are a deer run, burial area, a cultivated field and three log cabins dating from the 1850s. The arrangement of the village accurately reflects the archeological evidence unearthed at several prehistoric settlements, one of which was close by. The village also has a lovely rural setting and - if the school groups that come here begin to wear - you can stroll out into the woods. To get here, head south from London and then go west on Hwy 402. After about 12km, come off Hwy 402 (at Exit 86) and follow Hwy 2 south for about 6km
