Find a piece of country in the heart of the city! Begin your historic journey at The Anchorage, an Ontario Regency style cottage. Once the retirement home of Royal Navy officer John Skynner the early 19th century home was moved from its original site on the shores of Lake Ontario to the Bradley Museum in the mid 1970s and now houses changing exhibits, a Sunday afternoon tea room, the Museums of Mississauga administrative offices and collections storage space.

A short walk across the grounds brings you to a small saltbox style farmhouse that was constructed in 1830 by Lewis and Elizabeth Bradley. It has been restored to reveal the everyday life of early settlers in Ontario, this United Empire Loyalist couple and their seven children. This museum can be found at 1620 Orr Road.
