Horaceville, Ottawa
Horaceville, Ottawa, Heritage estate in West Carleton-March Ward, Canada
Description
Horaceville is an estate property along the Ottawa River that demonstrates early Ontario settlement patterns and construction methods. The site includes multiple buildings and grounds arranged to show how a 19th-century rural property functioned as a working household.
History
The property was originally established by Hamnett Kirkes Pinhey and remained in family ownership for more than a century. In the 1970s it received official protection status to preserve its historical structures for future generations.
Culture
The estate reflects how people lived and worked in early Ontario through its remaining buildings and grounds. Visitors can observe domestic spaces and work areas that show the daily rhythms of a 19th-century family and household.
Practical
The property is best explored on foot with paths connecting its buildings and outdoor areas. Visitors should prepare for variable weather since many areas are exposed to the elements and there is no continuous shelter throughout the grounds.
Did you know?
The property benefits from dual protection through both a Part IV heritage listing and a heritage trust easement. This layered protection approach is uncommon and reflects the significance placed on preserving this particular site.
