Housed in a gorgeous old stone building, this three-floor centre walks you through the full history of the Rideau Canal — a UNESCO World Heritage Site that's been in continuous use since the 1800s. You'll come away understanding exactly why this 202km waterway, with its hand-operated locks and Victorian-era structures, is such a big deal. Totally worth a stop if you want some real context for what you're seeing around Smiths Falls.
