Join the Bytown Museum for fun and discovery during Historic Places Days from July 11th – 25th!
This year’s theme, Communication Through Place and Time, acknowledges the different forms of communication – oral storytelling, written letters, telephone calls – that have shaped history. At the Bytown Museum, we recognize that forms of communication have changed overtime and differed between communities. These changes and differences contribute to the stories we share, listen to, and appreciate today.
This Historic Places Days, add the Bytown Museum to your VisitList and join us as we explore the various forms of communication that have contributed to Ottawa’s diverse history.
