The BYTOWN MUSEUM explores the stories of an evolving city and its residents from the early days of Bytown to present-day Ottawa, while being uniquely situated on a spectacular UNESCO World Heritage site!Located at the Ottawa Locks on the Rideau Canal, the BYTOWN MUSEUM offers panoramic views and natural surroundings, together with an exciting and diverse calendar of activities and exhibitions, bridging history and community in an unforgettable, picturesque setting.On this day in 1905, members of the Ottawa Silver Seven, newly-crowned Stanley Cup champions, celebrated their victory by attempting to, and yes this is true, kick the trophy across the Rideau Canal? They were, obviously, unsuccessful, and after recovering from the evening of drinking, retrieved the cup from the frozen canal unscathed the next morning. What a way to celebrate!
