Oshawa Community Museum, Historical museum complex in Lakeview Park, Oshawa, Canada.

The Oshawa Community Museum is a complex of three restored 19th-century houses located near Lake Ontario, each containing period furnishings and objects. The buildings showcase how people lived and worked during the Victorian era through their original rooms and household items.

The city of Oshawa donated three settler homes in 1959 to establish this museum, with the first house opening to visitors in 1960. The site was created to preserve the story of early European settlement and the region's growth.

The exhibition 'A Carrying Place' displays archaeological finds that reveal how Wendat communities lived in this area during the 15th century. Visitors can learn about the people who inhabited this land long before European settlement arrived.

The museum offers guided tours, self-guided tours, and audio tours so visitors can explore the houses in their preferred way. The site sits on park grounds near the water, so wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for outdoor walking on varied terrain.

The Drive Shed houses a collection of carriages and buggies from the past, offering insight into the transportation methods of that era. These vehicles show how people actually got around and traveled between different places during that time.
