About
Explore this online gallery and learn about the Ireland family. Immerse yourself in Burlington’s agricultural roots at Ireland House Museum from the comfort of home. Built between 1835-1837, Ireland House at Oakridge Farm was the home of Joseph Ireland, one of Burlington’s earliest settlers. Emigrating from Bowes, Yorkshire, England in 1819 at the age of 27, he petitioned for land at Oakridge Farm and so began a legacy that continues today.
