Richmond was founded in 1818 and is the oldest community within the current City of Ottawa.
To celebrate Richmond's 200th birthday in 2018, we have created the Richmond Passport Tour!
The Richmond 200 Passport Tour gives you the opportunity to explore Richmond by finding the 10 caches hidden around our village. Use a Passport (printable here) to make rubbings of each of the 10 special symbols found in the containers. Collect all 10 rubbings and submit your completed Passport to earn one free Richmond 200 Commemorative Coin!
The Quiet Garden is a lovely place in the village of Richmond. The garden has beautiful flowers and memorial benches, as well as two labyrinths of stone set into the grass. More information about the labyrinths and how they can be used for meditations are posted near two of the entrances to the garden.
You can enter the garden either from the east, by walking between St. John’s Hall and the manse (Entrance 1); or from the south-west, by following the path along the edge of St. Philip’s cemetery (Entrance 2).
