The building that houses the Rideau District Museum has seen a lot of history over its lifetime. In the 1850's it was home to 'Conley & Truelove', coffin shoppe and furniture manufacturer, and in the 1860's it made the transition to a blacksmith shop and saw the opening of a boat and carriage works upstairs.
