Step into the rich history of Ottawa with an exploration of the Bytown Museum, the city’s oldest community museum dedicated to preserving the stories of Bytown’s early days. Founded in 1917 by the Women’s Canadian Historical Society of Ottawa, the museum is housed in the historic Commissariat Building, Ottawa’s oldest stone structure, which dates back to 1827.

The Bytown Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the transformation of Bytown from a rugged frontier town to the capital of Canada. Through its extensive collection of artifacts, photographs, and archival materials, the museum showcases the lives of canal workers, settlers, and political figures who shaped the city’s development.
