Come
to Manotick for the ultimate Girl's Day Out! Bring your friends, neighbors, and
relatives for refreshments, in-store specials, prizes and much more! Arrive
early in town and receive a complimentary gift, while supplies last. Women’s Day is an annual one-day festival in
Manotick, held annually on the first Saturday of November. It is sponsored and coordinated by the
Manotick BIA and brought to you by your local merchants.
For
the occasion, Watson’s Mill is hosting a special exhibit featuring period
clothing. The exhibit showcases
beautiful reproductions and some original pieces, borrowed from the collections
of Watson’s Mill, Rideau Township Historical Society, Goulbourn Museum, OsgoodeMuseum, Vanier Museoparc and Nepean Museum.
Visitors will see a large variety of pieces spanning from the mid 1700’s
to the 1950’s, including basic, every day Upper Canada fashion, upper-class
ladies-wear from the 1860’s to 1920’s, Victorian wedding apparel, mourning
pieces, and of course, a variety of original, and unmentionable!, “under
things”.
Period
pieces will be displayed both at the Carriage Shed and the Dickinson House,
from November 3rd to November 11th.
Admission is by donation. The participating community museums are all
members of the Ottawa Museum Network—get your Connexion Card, and save on OMN
participating museum admissions and special cardholder events throughout the
year. Visit ottawamuseumnetwork.ca for

In
addition, community members are requested to clean out their closets and bring
their gently used ladies clothing and accessories, which will be collected at
Watson’s Mill and the Carriage Shed during the Women’s day weekend. The donated clothing will be forwarded to
local women’s shelter organizations.
On
Saturday, November 3rd, come to Historic Dickinson Square and discover fashions
of yesteryears. Not only will ladies feel “girly”, they will leave wanting to
spend the day shopping, appreciating modern-day clothing!
Watson’s
Mill is a unique 1860’s grist and flour mill located in Manotick, on the shores
of the Rideau River. A working
industrial heritage site in greater Ottawa, it has a remarkable history linked
to local politics, the building of a country, and a tragic love story. The WMMI mandate is to preserve Watson’s Mill
as a working historic grist and flour mill, and a social, cultural and
educational focal point for the community and visitors.
