Near Pleasant Park and Riverside road (2100 Cabot st) you will find the oldest standing wood frame houses in Ottawa, the Billings Estate. It was built in 1829 by the Billings family and has been their residence for over 150 years. This historical landmark provides a glimpse of the past, with Victorian tea on their gardens, wedding ceremonies and you can visit one of Ottawa's oldest cemeteries. During Halloween they hold special haunted tours where maybe you will see the ghost of Braddish Billings himself on the prowl. I recommend that you take a tour, if you dare.... If you like my reviews, photos or videos please give it a thunbs up.

Great looking old house. So much history on this ground. One of the oldest house still standing in Ottawa.
Lovely Museum & surrounding green/wooded area.
The tour was awesome and far more entertaining then I had expected. Reserve your time online in advance and it will cost roughly 6 per adult. Our guide - Margaret - was a gem. She took us through the entire estates history and was able to inform us of its relevance as well as that of the neighbourhood. With the COVID environment we lucked out and the tour to ourselves for the three of us. Bring a picnic - plenty of tables, a one minute walk to your car from the picnic tables, and indoor washrooms if the museum is available.
