Things to do in Oshawa

Robert McLaughlin Gallery
This awesome gallery in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada is the biggest public art gallery in the Durham region of Ontario, containing a magnificent collection of Canadian modern and contemporary artworks, kept in a wonderful structure designed by well known Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, with the collection focusing mainly on the works of art created by the group known as the Painters Eleven, that had been started in the Oshawa studio of member Alexandra Luke. William Caldwell, local designer, would start a group of artists to begin a commercial gallery area in Oshawa, and within a short time, Ewart McLaughlin and his wife Margaret (Alexandra Luke) offered to give some financial support to the group and a number of excellent works to assist in creating the foundation of a public gallery for the city, using Ewart's grandfather's name, Robert McLaughlin. The museum houses some 6800 works altogether, with the Thomas Bouckley collection making the art library and archives much better than it was, and includes the Painters Eleven paintings, the Group of Seven paintings, abstracts, the archives, the Bouckley collection, watercolors, landscapes and the Beaver Hall group paintings, in their permanent collection.

Parkwood Estate
The Parkwood Estate in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, is the former home of Samuel McLaughlin, who founded the General Motors of Canada company, and would be their homestead from 1917, when it was constructed, to 1972. Construction started in 1916, with designs done by the Toronto architectural firm of Pearson and Darling, and added to the National Historic Site of Canada's list in 1989, with tours given all year round. It is one of the best and grandest remaining grand estates in the nation, featuring outstanding architectural, landscaping and interior designs that would survive the 1920s and 1930s, at one time being the home of auto magnate, R. Samuel McLaughlin, and praised by the country's Historic Site and Monuments Board as "a rare surviving example of the type of estate developed in Canada during the inter-war years and is rarer still by its essentially intact condition, furnished and run to illustrate as it was lived within". This fabulous estate had once been a private enclave that would only be experienced by a privileged few, but now is open to the world as a National Historic Site. The immense estate continues to keep its original conditions, as the private home of a wealthy Canadian family, that reflected not only his interests and tastes, but the most remarkable five decades of history in the country and the world that would embrace both the automobile and the 20th century technology. The fabulous interiors of the Parkwood showcase an entire representation of the early 20th century design and grand estate functions with outstanding room settings that showcase the designers' works and illustrate the family's lifestyle along with the hospitality that they would give to their guests. The house is filled with silver, china, crystal, family photographs, linens, needlework, trophies and memorabilia that have all been excellently preserved and shown in their original surroundings, down to the monogrammed linens, as if the family still occupied the house. There are magnificent murals that adorn the walls, including fantastic works by well known Canadian artists like Frederick Haines and Frederick Challener, along with hand-painted murals and fabulous artworks, custom furniture, photographs and family mementos, bright chandeliers and European and Canadian fine art. The mansion's interior decorations include elaborate architectural finishes in plaster, decorative plaster ceiling treatments, marble, tile and wood flooring, carved wood, mantles and fireplaces, as well as outstanding architectural novelties like hidden panels and stairways. These magnificent decorations reflect the splendid blending of old world style with new-world modern art. The incredible collection includes Louis XVI furniture, ornamental metalworks, decorative clocks, planters, vases, innumerable pieces of original artworks, custom-loomed rugs, oriental carpets and elegant window treatments. It has 55 rooms sitting on 15,000 square feet, with a fantastic array of gardens.

It occupies a 25,000 square foot structure located in downtown Oshawa, that had been a 1920s car dealership, with it keeping its original period architecture right down to the original elevator that would move cars from one floor to the other.

Oshawa Community Museum & Archives
This is the sole museum in the city that depicts the local history using three renovated homes, that are still standing on their original foundations and provide a much better understanding of the lifestyles of the city's early settlers. The Henry House would be the first to be rejuvenated by the Oshawa Historical Society and would be opened as the Henry House Museum in 1960, and then the museum would begin to grow with the addition of the Robinson House in 1969 and then the Guy House in 1985. In 1982, the museum would be renamed the Oshawa Sydenham Museum to connect the museum's houses with the lakefront, that had been called Port Sydenham. But, then, in 1998, on Canada Day, the museum would rename the museum the Oshawa Community Museum & Archives to reflect its significant role in the city's historical, cultural and educational aspects. The museum's collections are considered diverse and showcase a marvelous photograph and postcard collection that had been Thomas Bouckley's, along with a newspaper microfilm dating back to 1862, medical instrument collection, relics from the Henry, Guy and Robinson families and other early settlers of the town, a 7000 item Grandview artifact collection, a fabulous reference library featuring local history books and a huge photograph collection that depicts the city's places, personalities and events. The museum and its archives have grown into a prominent part of the city and outstanding resource, with four magnificent structures from the past, that includes the museum, and the earliest native occupation to the current times.

Oshawa Military & Industrial Museum
The Ontario Regiment Ferret Club that is now a part of the Oshawa Military Industrial Museum has grown significantly during its fifteen years of operation, going from just nine Ferrets to a collection of more than 55 vehicles, with the latest being an Abbot self propelled gun that just arrived from the British Army in Suffield, Alberta. The museum began in a two car garage in Oshawa in 1980, and it wouldn't be long before it was looking for a larger permanent home, which would turn out to be the local airport that was one of the numerous British Commonwealth Air Training Plan sites for allied pilots, including Americans, that would operate here during WWII. This airport would also serve as the drop off point for candidates to the city's then top secret spy school called Camp X that is now quite famous. Strangely enough, James Bond's creator, Ian Fleming, would be trained here as well as did many other intelligence agents that would eventually play an important role in winning WWII. The Ontario Regiment, part of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps has had a long and distinguished history of service and gallantry that is proudly documented and showcased at the museum, with more than just a collection of military objects, that includes bringing all the military vehicles to a good running condition, as well as commemorating the outstanding roles that this country's great people would play in the war, giving sacrifices and lives in defense of their freedom and those of the world. The museum not only reminds people about the courage and self sacrifice of the many service people that gave their all to the war efforts, but also, the people that stayed at home and did all the necessary things that would complement and assist them in obtaining their goals. Besides a marvelous collection of military vehicles, the museum has an excellent and large collection of weapons, uniforms, medals, and relics that have been used by the Canadian army since the 1850s to the current day. These relics have been meticulously displayed in outstanding dioramas that showcase their area of use, with many medals being displayed.
