The Osgoode Township Museum tells the story of Ottawa’s agricultural and rural heritage, with a focus on agriculture in the former Osgoode Township. If you visit during the spring, summer, or fall, you’ll get a chance to wander through the grounds, orchard and 10,000 square foot heritage garden modeled after a 1907 School Garden. Inside the museum, our brand new permanent exhibition space displays the incredible story of our township and its people. Learn stories of how Indigenous people and the first European settlers paved a path for our current day rural community members, and how these residents are cultivating their connections with the past, present and future! The museum hosts a variety of family-friendly online workshops, talks and programs, and creates connections through partnerships with other organizations in the community.
