Come witness a timeline of transportation during the 25th Annual Transportation Day Car & Motorcycle Show taking place Sunday, July 10 from 10 am to 4 pm at Lang Pioneer Village Museum. Visitors will have the opportunity to view antique and classic cars and vintage motorcycles brought by car and motorcycle enthusiasts from across Ontario which will be on display throughout the historic village.
