This nondescript town in the midpoint between Ottawa and Pembroke marks the point where the Trans-Canada Highway goes from a divided urban motorway to a two-lane rural road. It is just outside the edge of the expansive Ottawa suburbs even though it is considered a part of the commuting circle of the capital.
The local museum is housed in a former post office constructed in 1896. The clock tower is a local icon that can be seen up and down John Street North. You don’t need a map in Arnprior, you just need to know how many blocks away you are from the clock tower.
The Arnprior Municipal Offices building was built in 1888 and renovated in 1978. If you’re driving into town from highway 417, it’s faux 3D sign will welcome you into town. The St. John Chrysotom Roman Catholic Church is the largest in the Diocese of Pembroke with a shiny silver spire like the Notre Dame Cathedral in Ottawa.

The Gilles Grove and House National Historical Site is supposed to have several forest trails, but at least one of them are closed permanently due to lack of maintenance.
I couldn’t find an Arnlatter.
