Lonely Planet review for Bytown Museum
Bytown Museum, sitting at the last lock before the artificial canal plunges into the waters of the Ottawa River. This well-curated collection of artifacts and documents about Ottawa’s colonial past is displayed in the city’s oldest stone building. The 1st floor is devoted to a nature exhibit, the 2nd floor details the arduous construction of the canal system, and, if you’ve got the kids in tow, don’t miss the pioneer dress-up station on the 3rd floor.
