    The museum is housed in Ottawa's oldest surviving stone building. Founded in 1917, it has been at its current location since 1951.

    The museum showcases Ottawa's history from its origins with the first settlers to the founding of Ottawa in 1855.

    The building was originally constructed in 1827 by Colonel John By as a warehouse and treasury for the canal construction project.
