Cumberland Heritage Village Museum will be on site at Fête Frissons (Shenkman Arts Centre) on February 2. Explore the sweeter side of history with fun facts about maple syrup production and try some maple taffy made on the snow.

Artefact spotlight

Memorial plaques like the one pictured here were sent to the families of British Empire soldiers, including Canadians, who lost their lives in WWI. This plaque commemorates the life of John Robert Walker who was killed in October 1916 during the last month of the Somme Offensive. The Walker family of City View sent three sons to fight in the First World War, John Robert, Joshua, and Daniel. Neither John Robert nor Joshua would return home. Their names are inscribed on the Vimy Memorial along with over 11,000 Canadian soldiers who were listed as ‘missing, presumed dead’ in France. Nepean Museum’s upcoming Rural Roots and City Streets exhibition will feature stories and artefacts that shine a light on local history from before the arrival of European settlers to the end of 20th century. Visit the exhibition when it opens to learn more about how the community experienced the First and Second World Wars.

Museum makeover

Next time you visit Nepean Museum it will have a brand new look. The exhibitions and collections spaces are currently undergoing a renovation that will give visitors a closer look at Nepean’s history. A new permanent exhibition, Rural Roots and City Streets, will open this winter and the re-imagined space will include a window offering a behind-the-scenes look into our collections storage area. Follow Nepean Museum on Facebook for updates as work progresses.

Join us at City Hall on February 19 from 11:30 am to 2 pm for Heritage Day. The Heritage Showcase is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the many organizations working to promote and conserve Ottawa’s shared history including the five City of Ottawa museums and historic sites.
