Home to Oshawa's History 

For over 65 years, the Oshawa Museum has celebrated our City’s history with engaging events, inspiring exhibits, and an extensive collection of archival materials. Nestled on the shores of Lake Ontario in beautiful Lakeview Park, the Oshawa Museum tells the story of Oshawa from the earliest Indigenous settlements to the present day. Home to Oshawa’s history, the Oshawa Museum is managed by the Oshawa Historical Society.

The Oshawa Museum is situated on the traditional territory and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. Our work on these lands acknowledges the signatory communities of the Williams Treaties, as well as the as well as the Michi Saagiig Nation and other members of the Indigenous community, for their continued stewardship of the lands and waterways since time immemorial, and their longstanding contributions to the area now known as Durham Region.
