Guided Tour - Historical Trafalgar Road

Map of Trafalgar Road

This guided tour explores the homes and other buildings of the Trafalgar Road Heritage Conservation District. Our most comprehensive tour, this walk provides fascinating insights into many of the lesser know aspects of Oakville historical heritage: a wood plank toll road, the Great Fire of 1866 that sent flaming kerosene all the way down the Sixteen Mile Creek to the harbour, the Temperance movement, the Underground Railway, the Hamilton Radial railway and more. 

This tour starts and ends at St. John's United Church, 262 Randall Street.
