Part 1 of my Ottawa Valley tour. There’s some nice towns around there, and a big government presence with the military and nuclear research.
First up, Carleton Place. A nice historic core and a history as a mill town. Highway 7 is being widened to 4 lanes so there’s a lot of growth on the south edge of town.
The old mill buildings are now condos.
Almonte is gorgeous – another old mill town. It’s worth the detour off the highway to see the waterfalls.
The Romanesque building is the post office. Romanesque institutional buildings are fairly common in rural Eastern Ontario.
Just up the road is Arnprior, where the Madawaska and Ottawa Rivers meet.
Part 2 coming soon!
