The Oshawa Community Museum and Archives is the only museum in Oshawa to depict local history through the interpretation of three restored buildings. All three homes stand on their original foundations and provide a greater understanding of the lifestyles of Oshawa’s early settlers.

Henry House was the first of the three homes to be restored by the Oshawa Historical Society and was opened as Henry house Museum in 1960. Since then the Museum has grown to include Robinson House (added in 1969) and Guy House (added in 1985).

In 1982 the Museum was named Oshawa Sydenham Museum to link the buildings with the lakefront area, once known as Port Sydenham. On Canada Day 1998 the Museum was renamed Oshawa Community Museum & Archives to reflect its important role in Oshawa’s historical, educational and cultural life.
