At the End of Summer, everyone is welcome to join us for a spectacular evening of stories from the past about the famous Stirling Lodge in Newboro brought to you by the Newboro and Area Heritage Society
Discover one of only four blockhouses built on the Rideau Canal. This building features thick walls designed to withstand small cannon fire and a tin sheathed roof to defy torching. Situated on a knoll to observe the lock and channel, the blockhouse can hold a 20-man garrison and house the lockmaster. Enjoy this rare opportunity to peek inside! Learn more about Newboro history and Rideau Lakes history brought to you by the Newboro and Area Heritage Society.
We are aiming to raise $5,000 to build a new, historically accurate stairway to access the second floor of the Newboro Blockhouse. This will help us open up more of this important historical site for visitors, preserving its legacy for future generations.
