Museum of Ontario Archaeology

The Museum of Ontario Archaeology (MOA) is devoted to the study, display, and interpretation of the human heritage of Ontario over the past 13,000 years. The Museum is located beside the Lawson Site, a large First Nations village that was occupied in the 16th century A.D.

Archaeology brings the stories of how people once lived to life. These stories connect us to our shared experiences and give us a sense of place in the world. At MOA, we believe that archaeology is about people and that by connecting with and sharing our stories we will understand and appreciate each other more.
