The Aylmer Heritage Association is a voluntary organization whose main objective is to further the protection of Aylmer’s heritage buildings and natural environment, as well as to promote a greater public understanding of Aylmer’s special place in both the history of the Ottawa region and the history of Canada. In addressing these objectives, the Association continues to acquire valuable documentation which adds to our knowledge of Aylmer’s pioneer families, the industries which thrived at different stages over the past two hundred years, and the major events and community activities which have contributed to the development of Aylmer as it is today.
