About Ireland House

Ireland House at Oakridge Farm was the home of Joseph Ireland, one of the earliest settlers to the area. Several generations of the Ireland family lived at the farmstead until 1985. The property is currently owned and operated by the City of Burlington, which has restored the museum to represent 3 distinct periods: 1850's, 1890's, 1920's.
