The Oshawa Museum, located within the scenic Lakeview Park along the shores of Lake Ontario, serves as the primary keeper of Oshawa’s history and heritage. The museum is unique for its three restored 19th-century Victorian homes—Guy House, Henry House, and Robinson House—all of which stand on their original foundations. These buildings offer a window into the lives of early settlers and the community’s evolution from a small farming settlement into a major industrial hub. Beyond its architectural significance, the museum manages extensive archival collections and hosts rotating exhibits that explore local social history, indigenous roots, and the city’s unique maritime connections.
