We are a group of volunteers who strive to commemorate and celebrate Orillia’s rich industrial history.

Our core artifacts are running examples of some key motorized vehicles from Orillia’s past that we make available for public display/exhibit and special events. These include:

1912 Tudhope  1970 Bazooo 1923 LaFrance
 1912 Tudhope at Couchiching Beach  Bazooo  LaFrance Firetruck at Leacock

 

In the early part of the 20th century, Orillia Ontario developed into one of the largest industrial centers in the province. This website seeks to provide pictures, data, and stories about the history of Orillia's industrial era.

Our YouTube channel features videos covering various aspects of Orillia’s industrial history. You can also visit us on Facebook.

OHC relies on community support to help us maintain and exhibit these artifacts. We are a Registered Charitable Organization.
