Indulge in a little history this month at our Best Cultural Experience Talk of the Town Award-winner, the Oakville Museum<\/a>!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Oakville Museum resides in the restored Erchless Estate, the former home to Oakville\u2019s founder Colonel William Chisholm. This historic home usually hosts touring exhibits throughout each year, as well as two permanent exhibits about Oakville\u2019s Black History.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Though select exhibits are currently closed, you can still book a 45-minute guided tour of the estate, including information about Oakville\u2019s founding family as well as time spent in the exhibit, <\/span>Freedom, Opportunity and Family: Oakville\u2019s Black History<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celebrate Culture Days at the Oakville Museum with a self-guided walking tour of the outdoor grounds and garden, or one of their free guided tours available every Sunday in the month of October!<\/span><\/p>\n

See your favourite plays, musicals and famous faces at Best Cultural Experience runner-up, The Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Though operations at this performing arts centre have currently halted, its stages have been known to host great Canadian and international artists such as Steve Hackett, The Barenaked Ladies, Margaret Atwood and Serena Ryder. It\u2019s a can\u2019t-miss feature of any Oakville visit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
