Celebrating 60 Years of Making History Together

This year marks a momentous milestone for the Merrickville & District Historical Society as we proudly celebrate our 60th anniversary. Since our founding in 1966, generations of dedicated volunteers, researchers, and community members have come together under a shared passion: to preserve, safeguard, and celebrate the rich heritage of the Rideau corridor. For six decades, MDHS has transformed raw archival discoveries, family genealogies, and local artifacts into living community memories. As we reflect on sixty years of preservation triumphs and community education, we look forward with immense gratitude to the members and supporters who make our work possible. Whether you have been with us since the early days or are just discovering your roots in the district, we invite you to join us throughout this anniversary year as we honor our past and chart a vibrant path forward for the next generation of local history.
