Goulbourn Museum shares the story of Ottawa’s oldest military settlement and early life in the former Goulbourn Township. Located just south of Stittsville in Ottawa's west end, Goulbourn Museum houses a diverse collection of artefacts and interactive exhibitions. These include All The Woods and Waters about Goulbourn's soldier settlers (the 100th Regiment of Foot); SCORCHED: The Great Fire of 1870 which recounts tales of ruin and renewal; and The Village General Store where children can dress in costume to barter or shop for supplies.
