Merrickville Blockhouse Museum

The Merrickville Blockhouse Museum was built by Col. By to protect the Rideau Canal from possible invasion. Upon completion in 1832, the threat of invasion had ended and the blockhouse was converted into a home for the lockmaster – Sgt. Johnston – and his family. Since then, the blockhouse has been used as a church and storage facility, and now houses a variety of fascinating exhibits depicting the evolution of life in Merrickville-Wolford.
