Had a lovely tour from Laura - thank you for answering all my questions! Definitely a site worth seeing in all its detail.
Great place to take in a bit of history. Their kids programs and activities are well run and a lot of fun. Great for families and schools.
Spent the afternoon with some friends. Learned some local history with a wonderful, informed guide. The City run museum has been really well set up, they've done a great job with renovating and maintaining the building.The grounds are lovely and also well maintained.We stayed for High Tea on the lawn. My friend and I chose three-tier tea service for two which included finger sandwiches, scones, and desserts. We found the sandwiches rather tiny, would have prefered a bit larger sized sandwiches. The scones were fantastic. And delightful with the cream and jam. Desserts -- well not really.... it was a selection of cookies and tarts --- all delicious and a great selection. The gal serving us was fabulous, kind and cheerfully answered our question.Aside from the tiny sandwiches, my only other criticism is the tea. Rather weak for our tastes. Could have used at least 2 more scoops of tea leaves. Pretty sad given that this is about the tea? Which is why I've given 3 stars and not 5.Overall, a very enjoyable afternoon. The weather was wonderful, which just topped it all off
This piece of Ottawa, and indeed Canadian history, is a hidden treasure within Ottawa. Located in an 8 acre park, the last remaining piece of the Billings Estate from which much of the Billings Bridge and Alta Vista areas of Ottawa were formed, the house provides a monument to the Billings Family and their impact on the early days of Ottawa's capital. A wonderful wedding venue, or corporate meeting space, the House has excellent catering facilities for events, and the mature trees of the park provide a tranquil setting within a few hundred metres of the Billings Bridge shopping and transit hub. Worth a visit for the history, definitely a worthy venue for consideration for a wedding or corporate event, and and often there are fun events hosted by the City of Ottawa at the museum, so check their schedule.
Was there for an outdoor wedding. Super beautiful. Would definitely recommend this spot for any event.
