JERRY OUELLETTE BRINGS OSHAWA TO QUEEN’S PARK

Queens Park – The Oshawa Community Museum and Archives is one of the featured exhibits in the east wing of the Legislative building. The prints featured in the exhibit highlight the restoration of three homes in Oshawa; Henry House (circa 1849), Robinson House (circa 1846), and Guy House (circa 1835). The exhibit celebrates the 50th Anniversary (1957-2007) of the Oshawa Historical Society.

Also featured in the display is The Oshawa Telegram from Saturday March 8, 1924, the day Oshawa was elevated to city status.

“I am always proud to have aspects of Oshawa here on display at Queen’s Park,” said Ouellette.

Each year Ontario Museums, historic sites, archives, and cultural societies are invited to display an exhibit in the hallway cases on the Legislature. Each exhibit is displayed for a four month period.

The Oshawa exhibit will be on display until the week of September 17, 2007.
