Oshawa Museum — Attraction in Oshawa

It's a set of three small historical houses which were built on the Lakeside in the 1800's.

The main house has a tiny gift shop, offices, and a few paintings and artifacts donated from some of the first families of Oshawa.

Five bucks per person gets you a tour of the other two houses- one a schoolhouse (very neat! Kids got a kick out of it -"what's a Dunce cap?" 😂) and the other the "rich" home of an old prominent family.

The museum is located right next to the beach and there's a playground with splash pad, the harbour, and paths to walk down if you want to spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying the outdoors.

Parking is free, and lot is within a block of the museum. Not a bad way to pass an afternoon.

Staff is very friendly...

Surprisingly it was alright. This place showed us how the first few settlers in Oshawa lived. So the houses are over 150 years old. They did say the houses are just a bit older than Canada. But it was an interesting experience. Life was difficult 150 years ago to say the least...

This place is good to take the kids. The staff is friendly. I am not sure about the prices because we went with a group. They even have audio tours in the case that there isn't a guide. 4 stars because I feel the tour was a bit short and there wasn't...

Very beautiful & well kept historical homes. Lovely grounds near the lake Ontario. Great for tours, viewing & park land to explore. There is a boardwalk, benches for people watching & a pier to walk out into the lake. Kids park & a snack shake for convenience, parking on site as well (small lot) & several historic homes to view. The lake looks beautiful at this location, the beach is small as the surrounding area has private homes...
