Carleton Place’s town hall is one if six heritage buildings in the town. It’s named after a place in Scotland, just like the names of the counties surrounding the area. A university in Ottawa shares the same name with the town – Carleton University, though it’s unclear whether the etymology of the two are linked.

Some other heritage buildings in town include the Zion United Memorial Church, Carleton Place Heritage Museum, and the St. James Church. Bridge Street is a great location to hang out at the waterfront area where there are restaurants and pubs left and right of the Mississippi River. Don’t confuse this river with the mighty Mississippi in the US.

Manfred von Richtofen, the Red Baron, was the meanest ace-of-aces in WWI who had 80 air-to-air combat victories. Richtofen was shot down and killed in 1918 by a Canadian pilot by the name of Arthur Roy Brown, who only shot down 10 other aircraft. To his credit, Brown did survive the war return to his birthplace – Carleton Place. Today, Memorial Park has a plaque crediting Brown for killing the German ace.
