Aylmer, just across the Champlain Bridge in Quebec, dates
back to 1847 when it was a prosperous lumber town. There are over 60 heritage buildings in the historic
section of the city, including the Symmes Inn, built on the waterfront in 1831 to
accommodate travelers making their way down river via steamboat as well as
loggers and fur traders.
There are also several completely restored award-winning
buildings, funky shops and several restaurants.
Walking tour maps are available online at www.gatineau.ca, in various locations in the old city as well as on sign in the Parc de L’imaginaire, located beside the Symmes Inn.
