YourTV programs filmed in Amherstburg

Crews from Cogeco and YourTV were on hand at the Park House Museum earlier this month to film a new series entitled “Travel through Time.” Three episodes were filmed at the Park House Museum.The series will explore the history of Essex County and Windsor. Film crews were also slated to go to the Amherstburg Freedom Museum to film a show there.

Subscribers of Cogeco TV locally will soon get a chance to learn more about the area’s history.

A new show entitled “Travel through Time” is being filmed by local staff and volunteers with YourTV, with production starting recently. 

Producer Emily Moore and her crew were in Amherstburg recently, including a stop at the Park House Museum.

Three episodes are being filmed at the Park House Museum. Another show will be centred around the Amherstburg Freedom Museum. Among the many. other locations where filming will take place are the Canadian Aviation Museum, John R. Park Homestead, and Willistead Manor.

Each episode will run approximately 28 minutes and 30 seconds.

Moore said they are learning a lot about the history of the region and are passing that along to viewers. She said exact dates of when it will air are still being finalized, but the premiere episode of “Travel through Time” is expected in September.

Film crews, both YourTV staff and co-op students, were at the Park House Museum much of the afternoon of the day of filming.

“It’s good. This is our first day,” said Moore. “We’re learning a lot.”

After filming at the various historic locations around Essex County and Windsor, Moore and her team will commence the editing process. It is the first year Moore is working on the series, adding she also works on other projects for Cogeco and its YourTV community stations.

“This is my summer project,” she said. “Once we see if people enjoy the show, we’ll reach out to try and get more places.”
