What To Do in Merrickville, Ontario
Take a trip….
… a trip back in time!
Merrickville’s roots can be traced back to the early 19th century when it was a busy hub for the booming timber industry. But what really put Merrickville on the map was the Rideau Canal, a remarkable feat of 1800’s engineering connecting Ottawa to Lake Ontario.
And guess what? Merrickville played a key role in its construction! The locks you see on the Rideau Canal were crafted with precision and ingenuity right here in town.
So, next time you stroll or ride along the canal, take a moment to appreciate Merrickville’s important place in Canadian history.
