photograph number 187-212c

In keeping with the fact that it's July, the July Photo of the Month is of the July 4th parade in 1940.  Think about the national mood at the time.  We'd been in World War II for just 7 months.  It must have been a very patriotic feeling watching the stars and stripes go by under the circumstances.

Note the old City Hall which stood where Oakville Grocery now stands.  The old City Hall was torn down in the 1960s and replaced with another, smaller, City Hall that was eventually replaced by Oakville Grocery.

The Museum has a large collection of Historical photos.  For more information contact the museum.
