From Rivers to Roads
Billings Estate National Historic Site
Wherever rivers, portages, and roads met, First Nations people and European settlers made their homes. Examine the significance of the Ottawa River for local travel and trade as well as the subsequent development of road systems that facilitated movement further inland.



From Paddlewheels to Railways
Pinhey’s Point Historic Site

Railways helped shape Ottawa’s urban geography; but, before railway transportation became the norm, many of this region’s riverside communities prospered as steamboat landings. Dive into the history of these important lifelines for farmers, merchants, and travellers alike.

The automobile brought with it major changes to daily commutes, leisure travel, infrastructure, and more. Explore the transportation links between Ottawa and its surrounding rural communities from passenger rail to modern highway networks.
