eat make share - At the Museums of Burlington

Visit two Burlington museums in one day: Ireland House and the Joseph Brant Museum.

The day begins with a guided tour and hearth baking workshop at Ireland House museum. Participants should bring a bag lunch to eat alongside the treats made on the hearth.

After lunch, the group will travel to the Joseph Brant Museum for a brief presentation and to explore eat make share: a taste of immigration, an exhibition created by the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.

Ireland House at Oakridge Farm was the home of Joseph Ireland, one of the area's earliest settlers. Several generations of the Ireland family lived at the farmstead until 1985.
