Directions: The old Palermo School house is located on the North side of Dundas east of Bronte Road. NOTE, traffic control barriers in the centre of Dundas only allow for access for west bound traffic into the schoolhouse! This is fine if you are travelling west, however eastbound visitors will have to turn around at the next traffic light at Palermo Park and come back west. Sorry but the price of growth... Parking is beside the schoolhouse.

Trafalgar Township Historical Society
All of the community that we know as Oakville, Ontario was once Trafalgar Township. The political boundaries of Trafalgar Township ceased to exist with the amalgamation of the Township, and Oakville in 1962.
The Trafalgar Township Historical Society was established in January 2006, founded on the work of the Trafalgar 2000 Committee, a group of citizens who organized an event to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Trafalgar Township.
Our home is now in the Heritage Palermo One Room Schoolhouse, and home to our Culture day’s Events at 2431 Dundas Street West.
Palermo was one of the earliest towns in Trafalgar Township!
It once boasted:
- A foundry that riveled Massey Ferguson
- A medical school,
- two schools, two hotels, two corner stores,
- A town hall, a temperance hall,
- two churches, and their cemeteries.
Palermo was the first town in Trafalgar to install sidewalks and had the first school library and music program.
The old schoolhouse is our home and location for the Culture Days Events
The society focuses on preserving heritage homes, and local history through research, hosting speakers, a monthly open house and maintaining an images site where we have scanned over 2,000 local photos and documents that are fully accessible to the public.
