Speaker Night: On Tuesday April 1, 2025, Dave Hobden will be our speaker, preceding the TTHS AGM. Join us for the first of a 3-part adventure, stretching from the distant past, when the European population of Canada was a grand total of thirteen persons through the Ancien Regime, French and English struggles for dominance, fending of our dear cousins to the south, the birth of a Canadian military, rebellions and to Monsieur Riel. Listen to the stories the letters tell, Nicolas Marsolet, Edward Cornwallis, Benedict Arnold, Isaac Brock, George Prevost, and myriad individuals whose penned letters speak to us down through the ages. We’ll meet at the Palermo Schoolhouse, located east of Dundas & Bronte Rd in Oakville
Trafalgar Township Historical Society Annual General Meeting will be held Tuesday April 1, 2025 at 8:00pm at the Palermo Schoolhouse, located east of Dundas & Bronte Rd in Oakville. It will follow our Speaker Night with Dave Hobden. A key item for discussion at the AGM will be the update of the Society’s Bylaws as required by the new government regulations.
Trafalgar Township Historical Society has a number of their school artifacts on display at the Queen Elizabeth Community Centre Museum Collection. The Museum Collection is open to the public and we’d encourage all community members to visit to see what other museums and historical societies have on display. It is located at 2302 Bridge Road, Oakville, ON L6L 3L5.
We host our Open Archives at the heritage Palermo School House. Check the Event Calendar for the next scheduled day, usually the 3rd Friday of the month, except for December and the summer months. Meet our archivist, search our archives, research township family history or just come to reminisce. You’ll never know who will show up with a fascinating new piece of local history. Admission FREE but voluntary donations are welcome.
Heritage Day 2024 at the Schoolhouse: On 28 September 2024, we showcased the “Agricultural History of Trafalgar Township” at the restored Heritage Palermo schoolhouse in Oakville. For more details see Heritage Day 2024
