Our visit to the Merrickville Blockhouse in Ontario was a captivating experience, even though we didn't have the chance to go inside. The exterior of this historic structure is beautifully preserved, standing as a proud reminder of the region's rich history. The Blockhouse's stone architecture, paired with the serene surroundings, offers a glimpse into the past while providing a peaceful spot to admire the scenery. The area around the Blockhouse is equally charming, with well-maintained grounds that include views of the nearby Rideau Canal. The lock mechanisms and the tranquil waters add to the picturesque setting, making it an ideal location for a leisurely walk and reflection.The informational signage near the Blockhouse provides insightful details about its historical significance, helping visitors appreciate the strategic role it played during the 19th century. Even without entering, the site offers plenty to see and learn from, making it a worthwhile stop for anyone exploring Merrickville. The Merrickville Blockhouse is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and those who enjoy scenic and educational spots. The blend of historical architecture and natural beauty creates a unique and memorable experience.

It was unexpected but very pleasant visit to this very interesting 19th-century British designed blockhouse.Young volunteers were very knowledgeable and helpful, they told us a lot about the family who lived there. The Museum have loaned artifacts brought by Descendants of settlers including trunks, old machinery, books, portraits, clothes, china and original letters. Very interesting, worth to visit! the Museum is located just near Lock.

Such an amazing place! The Blockhouse is full of history, and it was truly fascinating to explore and imagine what life was like back then. The building itself is very well preserved, and you can really feel the heritage of Canada here. We had a wonderful time visiting, and it was both educational and very interesting. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Merrickville!

One of my favourite places to go to. Picnic area beside the blockhouse, parking is free, World Heritage Canal right there too. Merrickville Blockhouse is a two-storey, masonry and timber defensive structure located on the banks of the Rideau Canal. The Blockhouse was designated a National Historic Site because it was considered a fine example of the best type of blockhouses erected for the defence of the Rideau Canal about 1832. Built in 1832-33, it is associated with the construction of the Rideau Canal waterway and the...
