Billings Estate Museum is Ottawa’s oldest standing wood-frame house and one of its most iconic heritage sites. Built in the early 19th century, it was home to the Billings family, among the city’s first settlers. Today, the museum showcases the story of the family and the social history of the region through artifacts, furniture, and photographs. The estate’s scenic grounds feature heritage gardens and host seasonal events, including tea on the lawn and cultural festivals. Visitors can step into Ottawa’s past and experience how early pioneers lived, worked, and shaped the city’s future.
