Welcome!

Welcome to the Museum of Ontario Archaeology. We are dedicated to connecting people to the stories of the human experience through time and place. It is our mission to share, interpret, and care for the archaeological record to advance an understanding of Ontario’s Heritage.



The Museum of Ontario Archaeology invites you to join us on March 22nd for World Water Day!

There will be a guided hike with Friends of Medway Creek starting at 5:30PM, followed by an evening program discussing Underwater Archaeology at 7pm with guest speaker Dr. Kimberly Monk will share her experience with the Shickluna Shipyard excavations in St. Catharines, Ontario over Zoom. While Dr. Heather Hatch will be on site to talk more broadly with visitors about the science of Underwater Archaeology.

Admission is $5 and includes access to the galleries.
Doors open at 5:00PM at the Museum of Ontario Archaeology
