Osgoode Township Museum

The Osgoode Township Museum is located off Bank St. in rural Ottawa south.  The site is home to a 10,000 square ft. heritage garden, an Orchard, an Agriculture Barn with an impressive exhibition of early farming equipment and a mid-century school house which houses the collection and permanent exhibits.  We are a small but mighty and light-hearted staff of 4.

Like many other heritage institutions, our museum underwent unprecedented changes in 2020.  We adapted early on to a new reality and thrived, creating new ways to engage with our community through social media, virtual programs, virtual content for classrooms/homeschoolers and virtual events.  We even rebranded!  Take-home kits have been huge in helping us still meet our fundraising goals, while bringing experiences to our community safely at home.  We also somehow managed to build a  new permanent exhibit in 2020 that we can’t wait to share with our community!
