Play in the past. Make happy memories for the future. |
Love the outdoors, fresh air, and exploring new places? Come out to Pinhey's Point Historic Site on Sunday, May 15 to
discover the exciting sport of orienteering! Orienteering Ottawa will be on site to help you learn the ins and outs of this adventurous sport – you can try out the short course, or attempt to tackle the longer course over the entire 88 acres of the property. With crafts, lawn games, and a BBQ (extra cost), so you can refuel, it's going to be a wonderful day in the great outdoors. |

The Province of Upper Canada land grant pictured here was issued to Henrietta McDonell, who was granted a 200-acre tract of land in the Township of Nepean in 1801. This recent addition to the City of Ottawa Museums' collection had suffered some damage over the past 200 years, so a local paper conservator preserved the document for future
generations. The land grant is part of the collection of the Nepean Museum and one of over 200,000 in the care of the City of Ottawa Museums.
