Outreach Lecture
Looking for an historical speaker? The Bytown Museum is
pleased to offer historical lectures on a wide range of
topics from Ottawa’s early history. Our speaker will come to
your event and deliver a prepared presentation on a given
topic. Often, historical characters are available to deliver
the lecture.
Our Hire a Historical
Character program offers
other possibilities for costumed interpretation at your
event.
