Merrickville ... the “Jewel of the Rideau”. Historic Merrickville is centrally located in the heart of Eastern Ontario, Canada. William Merrick founded the Village of Merrickville in 1794. Attracted to the site by waterpower, he constructed a dam across the Rideau river and then built grist, saw, and carding mills. It was not long before a thriving community sprang up around the milling activity. Today, the Village Merrickville is an active business and residential community that features an easy-going way of life. An abundance of artists and craft persons mixed with shops, restaurants, pubs, B&Bs, and historic Victorian homes make Merrickville the perfect get-away destination.
