The Leslie Log House was built by Robert Leslie in
1826 on Mississauga Road, north of Derry. In 1994 it
was moved to its current location at 4415 Mississauga
Road and officially reopened to the public in 2011 in
partnership with the Streetsville Historical Society.
The Leslie Log House is one of the oldest and best
preserved log homes remaining in all of Ontario
and is an excellent example of the early pioneering
and agricultural history of not just Mississauga but
of southern Ontario in the early nineteenth century.
The volunteers of the Streetsville Historical Society
store their archival collection upstairs in the Leslie
Log House and present changing displays on the
main floor.
The Friends of the Museums of
Mississauga launched in 2005 as an
incorporated not-for-profit, charitable
organization, with an established Board of
Directors, bylaws, and an active schedule
of events and activities in support of the
Museums of Mississauga.
