Wellboro Walks

Once “far” outside the downtown core, Ottawa’s West End is filled with fascinating historical places that provide an interesting glimpse into our neighbourhood’s past. We will explore some lesser known, and also some well-known locations along Richmond Rd. within Westboro, Wellington West and into Hintonburg.
With some places still standing, and others long gone, we will stroll through the neighbourhood examining over twenty places of interest that include old movie theatre locations (we had four), train stations, and even a lost turn-of-the-century amusement park. A map showing some of these locations will be provided for participants to follow along.
