Ontario Regiment Museum

The Ontario Regiment Museum is a military museum in Oshawa that holds about 100 working military vehicles, including tanks, trucks, and vintage jeeps. The collection sits on the municipal airport grounds and is supported by a conservation center that maintains these machines.

The museum was founded in 1980 to preserve the history of the Ontario Regiment, which has served in Canadian military operations since 1866. A conservation center was added in 2018 to focus on maintaining vehicles from different decades.

The museum helps visitors understand how military vehicles shaped Canada's military history and allows people to see these machines up close. Many come away with a deeper sense of what soldiers depended on during different time periods.

The museum is open Thursday through Sunday, with hours that shift between winter and summer seasons. Visitors can arrange guided tours and may catch vehicle demonstrations during their visit.

The museum runs one of North America's largest collections of military vehicles that actually run and drive. These machines are not simply displayed but are actively maintained and can move under their own power.
