Take
a step back in time with a trip to one of our many museums and heritage
sites. At the Halton Region Museum, you can visit a pioneer homestead founded
by the Alexander Family in 1836 and stroll to the Blacksmith shop, Alexander
Barn, log house and visitor centre. For another unique historical experience,
visit Country Heritage Park, an interactive heritage park depicting agriculture
and rural life over the last 150 years. This unique attraction is located
on an 80-acre site with over 30 exhibit buildings and 20,000 artifacts,
featuring an outstanding collection of antique tractors, steam engines,
farm equipment and rural life artifacts. The Halton County Radial Railway
is Canada's first, and Ontario's only, operating electric railway museum.
Enjoy a trip down memory lane with rides on a variety of restored streetcars
as well as radial and work cars through scenic woodlands. |
Visit one of the
most accurately dated prehistoric archaeological sites in Canada at Crawford
Lake Conservation Area. This reconstructed 15th century Iroquoian village
features longhouses, palisade, artifacts and exhibits as well as scenic
hiking trails. Looking for your own family’s roots? In Milton, you can
explore that, too, with the help of our local genealogy experts.
