Wednesday, June 21, 2017 - 19:00 to 21:00
This lecture will present the early histories of Bytown, Rochesterville and Nepean with an exposé woven from the Rochester, Cole, Baillie and McDougall families whose collective signature is on much early development of Ottawa and the Ottawa Valley.
With the arrival of John Rochester Senior to Bytown in 1827, the establishment of breweries, tanneries, sawmilling and mining became part of this fascinating fabric.
