Grandpa Henry's Picnic

Grandpa Henry’s Picnic is back at the Oshawa Museum on July 14, 2024! Take a trip down memory lane and experience an afternoon in our heritage gardens with your family. Discover the fascinating history of the Henrys, one of Oshawa's earliest settler families, on your journey. You might be surprised to learn that Thomas Henry used to organize a special picnic for his grandchildren every year, and we're continuing that tradition he started over 150 years ago!

This year, you can bring your own picnic and treat yourself to hand-churned ice cream and popcorn. There will be games, races, costumes, and tours of Henry House and the garden, so there's something for everyone to enjoy!

The admission fee for Grandpa Henry’s Picnic is $5 per person, but if you're a member of the Oshawa Historical Society, you can get in for free! Make sure to join before the event to take advantage of this discount. The picnic will run from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., but you're welcome to stick around and explore the grounds afterward.

Please note that this is a rain or shine event, and some activities may be subject to change due to inclement weather.
