Upper
Canada Village

Upper Canada Village is an 1860s heritage park outside of Ottawa near Morrisburg. There are historical buildings such as a bakery, a sawmill, a flour mill, an old school and more.

The staff are all dressed up in costume from the 1860s and they are located around the park and in the various buildings to answer your questions. It is one of the most interesting and historical of all the Ottawa attractions.
