During the world's largest chamber music festival each summer, you can delight in 120 concerts in Canada's capital by leading international ensemble and solo musical artists.
Once the summer home of Canada's longest-serving prime minister, this 231-hectare (571 acre) property in Gatineau Park welcomes visitors to enjoy lunch, special activities, lush gardens, wooded trails and more.
Spend the day enjoying nature and history, just a 20-minute drive from downtown Ottawa. From late spring until mid-fall, explore two 1940s cottages, see exhibits about Prime Minister Mackenzie King's life and times, and have tea or lunch in the charming tearoom. Throughout the year, admire the picturesque architectural ruins that King collected and reconstructed here, and explore the network of forest trails surrounding the estate.
During the Second World War, Prime Minister Mackenzie King enjoyed much-needed respite at this tranquil rural estate. Believing others should enjoy it as well, he willed it to the country on his death in 1950.
