Billing Estate Museum
Billing
Estate Museum, built in 1828 by pioneer Braddish Billings, is located
on 8.4 acres of scenic gardens and parkland 10 km south of Parliament
Hill. The neoclassical house, formerly called Park Hill and once
the New England style home of two of Ottawa's earliest settlers,
overlooks Ottawa and the Rideau River. Inside, displays of furniture,
textiles, photographs, antiques, family heirlooms and other documents
detail the history of the estate and the five generations of the
Billings family that occupied it.
