About

Ancient philosophers deemed certain virtues necessary for a happy individual. These virtues also were necessary in creating a good society. Achieving goodness or virtue is something that must be cultivated every day through ones actions. Learn about some of the glorious virtues of historic Oakville residents personified through artifacts in the Museum’s permanent collection which have contributed to society.

The Oakville Museum's satellite exhibit space at QEPCCC is open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Town of Oakville

The Town of Oakville is located on Treaty 14 and 22 lands, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. Oakville is home to many different First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. A vibrant and impressive community within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the Town of Oakville is a beautiful lakeside town with a strong heritage, preserved and celebrated by residents and visitors alike. Since the 1800s, it has become one of the most coveted areas to live and work in Ontario with 225,000 residents calling Oakville home. The town offers all the advantages of a well-serviced urban centre with first-rate facilities and amenities, while also maintaining its small-town feel.
