Donate
There is so much to explore in the Trafalgar Township Historical Society archives. Many of our visitors love what they have seen and learnt and have generously donated to the continued development of the society.
We meet in the heritage Palermo School House at 2341 Dundas Street West, Oakville, Ontario (just east of Regional Road 25).
- We continue to restore and encourage community use of the Palermo School House.
- We campaign to protect the status of the local heritage properties in the Township.
- We advocate heritage preservation through plaques, street names and park names.
- We research local houses, villages and communities.
And we do all of this with no assistance from public funding which is why ongoing financial support is essential.
As a registered charity, your donation is vital to help us with our work.
