On Monday, October 16, 2017, Prof. Bruce Elliott<\/a> spoke about the Bellows & Stacy’s store at a public lecture at the Ottawa Public Library, Centrepointe Branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before there was Bytown, there was the Town of Sherwood, dating from 1822 and located at Chaudi\u00e8re Falls.  One of the stores that flourished there was Bellows & Stacy, from 1824 \u2013 1828, when the townsite vanished.  Earlier this year the account book of Bellows & Stacy\u2019s store was discovered in a museum in Vermont.  It has much to tell us about the local economy of the region and about the earliest settlers on both sides of the Ottawa River, from Quyon to Cumberland and south to North Gower.  And it\u2019s coming home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruce S. Elliott, Professor of History at Carleton University and author of The City Beyond: A History of Nepean, Birthplace of Canada\u2019s Capital, told the story of this newly-discovered piece of Ottawa\u2019s history.
