With more designated heritage buildings than any other Ontario community similarly
sized, Merrickville is a clear window into the past. The Victorian era is alive
and near on streets bordered by stone buildings all to be enjoyed from the patio
of one of the many local restaurants, including several British pubs. The Rideau
Canal runs through this historic town and is itself deeply intertwined
with the history of the country and region. However, now that its economic role
has waned with the advent of highways, the canal's waters have been usurped by
water enthusiasts looking to meander through the countryside in a canoe or kayak.
During the summer, festivals enliven Merrickville's streets with art, crafts,
antiques and a centuries-old agriculture fair which maintains the local agricultural
traditions stemming back to the 1700s.
