Oakville Museum Exhibition

Using the museum’s suitcase and costume collection, as well as archival documentation, this exhibit shares stories of immigration from over 150 years as a collective history of becoming Canadian. The people who came to make Oakville their home brought their unique skills, energy and vision and have contributed to the development of the community. This exhibit explores a small number of Oakville immigration stories from the first fifty years after Canadian Confederation in 1867.
