## Description

The Gloucester Historical Society is a community organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the former Township and City of Gloucester in Carleton County, Ontario, now part of Ottawa. Its website brings together historical timelines, family and neighbourhood stories, photographs, school and church histories, local place-name research, and information about veterans and notable residents. Visitors can explore Gloucester’s development across several centuries, learn about landmarks such as Billings Bridge, and discover the origins of local street names. The society also provides newsletters, historical resources, videos, presentations, quizzes, and an online store, alongside opportunities for membership and participation in community events. Its publications and digital exhibits help make local history accessible to residents, families, and researchers. The Grace Johnston History Room closed permanently on October 25, 2024, and its materials are being transferred to the City of Ottawa Archives. The society states that it will continue operating in the community, maintaining its role as a source of information and engagement about Gloucester’s past.
