National Historic Site of Canada

The Connell House was built in 1839 as a home for Mr. Charles Connell, a merchant and timbre dealer. The house is an architectural gem, boasting many fine details throughout, and is a stately example of the Greek Revival style.

If you are interested in architecture or local history, the Connell House is certainly worth a stop. The house was purchased by the Carleton County Historical Society in 1975, and a restoration began in 2007.

The Connell House holds permanent exhibits in three galleries, as well as temporary exhibits of historical and artistic interest, and hosts elaborate tea parties for those interested in a taste of the historical high life.
