Blockhouse Museum

Located on the grounds of the Merrickville Lockstation in the heart of the Village of Merrickville, 60km southwest of Ottawa. Built in 1832-33, the blockhouse is the largest and the most impressive of the four blockhouses built along the Rideau Canal for its defense and the second largest blockhouse surviving in Canada.

The Museum exhibits are made up of items donated by community members, and reflect the evolution of Merrickville-Wolford.
