Trafalgar Township Heritage Day

À propos

While the history of the lakeside Oakville community is well commemorated, the history of the older, agricultural communities of North Oakville is not so well acknowledged.

With urban development taking place on the formerly agricultural land north of QEW and later Hwy. 5 (Dundas), it's important to capture and celebrate the history of the Trafalgar Township communities and share it so the past will not be forgotten.

We have established an Open Archive containing information files on the many families, communities, buildings and people of Trafalgar Township.

The Trafalgar Township Society has completely renovated the Palermo one-room schoolhouse to its original condition and holds many historical artifacts relating to the school operation.
