At the Oakville Museum at Erchless Estate you will discover 19th & 20th century history. It is situated in downtown Oakville in Old Oakville’s First Heritage District. Oakville, once a thriving port of entry for merchants and sailors, was well known for its majestic scene and welcome, featuring the Erchless Estate Family Home & Custom House.
Set on the eastern side of the Oakville Harbour and the shores of Lake Ontario, sailors & ship merchants would enter into the outpost of British North America in the early 1800's.
During this time Oakville was also a terminus for the Underground Railroad, and signified freedom for many African Americans who fled to Canada.
