About
The Oakville Historical Society is proud to participate In Culture Days. Join us to explore interactive demonstrations and learn about the life of early settlers at The Thomas House, built in 1829 as the original home of The Thomas Family, and now furnished and presented as a pioneer home of the 1830 - 1840's.
Mrs. Thomas would love to have you drop in for a visit! She will have Welsh Cakes cooking on her griddle!
See how her Oakville farm family lived in the 1830’s. Learn about their daily chores and try out some gadgets of the time.
Find out about ‘Jacob’s Ladder’, ‘button buzzers’ and ‘whimmy diddlers’ or try your hand at the ‘Game of Grace’.
