The West Red Lake Mining Museum celebrates the 1930's gold rush and the unique individuals who lived it. Exhibits at the museum change as new materials are found.

The Lost Villages are ten communities in the Canadian province of Ontario, in the former townships of Cornwall and Osnabruck (now South Stormont) near Cornwall, which were permanently submerged by the creation of the Saint Lawrence Seaway in 1958. The museum consists of ten heritage buildings, moved and restored to Ault Park from The Lost Villages and surrounding townships by Lost Villages History Society.

Pimachiowin Aki is the first and only 'mixed' cultural and natural UNESCO World Heritage site in Canada. It is the largest protected area in the North American boreal shield. Located on either side of the Manitoba-Ontario border, within the site's boundaries are Manitoba's Atikaki Provincial Park, and Ontario's Woodland Caribou Provincial Park and Eagle-Snowshoe Conservation Reserve.The Bloodvein River, located in Woodland Caribou Provincial Park, is designated a world heritiage river and is part of the Pimachiowin Aki.

Pakwash Provincial Park is located 19 km north of Ear Falls, and is home to a 1.5 kilometer long sand beach, campgrounds, nature trails, aboriginal rock paintings and over 65 species of birds.

The Norseman Park is home to an authentic Noordyn Norseman aircraft located in a scenic outlook looking over Red Lake's historic Howey Bay. Take the time to read the story of the Norseman plane on the intepretive panel found in the park. It is a place where people can sit along the waterfront and watch planes come in and out. There are benches for sitting as well as a grass area to have a small picnic. You are still able to watch floatplanes land and takeoff from this lookout. Better yet, book a scenic flight on a float plane.

What was it really like to live and work in the 1860s? Travel back in time to one of Canada's largest living-history sites and experience Village Life!

A key part of the experience is the authentic buildings that make up the village, the activities that each housed, and of course, the people who lived there.

In 1809, Anglicans of Augusta and Elizabethtown built a frame chapel, later called the "Blue Church," which served the parish until St. James, Maitland, was opened in 1826. The "Blue Church," unconsecrated, rarely used for services and in bad repair, was partially burned and taken down in 1840. The present small blue church was built in 1845.

Today it is used mainly as a funeral chapel and the cemetery which surround the church still contains memorials to many of the early settlers to the area.

The Rideau Canal passes through Merrickville and in the summer months the blockhouse, which guarded the canal from potential American attacks in the past, is open to the public. The old manual locks and swing bridge are still in operation and worth checking out.

Canada’s First Railway Tunnel was completed in 1860 for the Brockville and Ottawa Railway and later owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway until being acquired by the City of Brockville in 1983. The Tunnel is a remarkable example of Canada’s pre-Confederation industrial heritage and is open to the public. Key features of the Tunnel are a new paved concrete floor, state-of-the-art energy efficient lighting and a music soundtrack to help bring history to the present.
