We just wanted to pop in and remind everyone that this page will no longer be active. While we won’t be posting, we still have a lot of plans for the Dickinson House in 2025! We’ll be sharing everything we’re up to on Watson's Mill Manotick on Facebook and Instagram, so we want to encourage all of you to give us a follow over there if you don’t already 💚💛

Thank you all for understanding. We’ll see you when we reopen in May 2025!

Hello friends and followers, Happy 2025!

We have an important update regarding the status of the Dickinson House page. As Watson’s Mill Manotick Inc. continues its journey of operating Dickinson House, Watson’s Mill and the Carriage Shed as a unified and cohesive historic site, we will begin using one, single Faceook page as we move forward into 2025.

For our followers that are wishing to keep up to date with the Dickinson House Museum (and all the amazing events that we’ll be running this Summer), we encourage you to follow Watson's Mill Manotick on Facebook and Instagram!

You can also sign up for our newsletter by visiting this link: https://watsonsmill.us3.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=8521d5dfe4f5cac154499fa96&id=94950c17a7

As of January 31, 2025, this page will become inactive. That being said, we will be keeping this page visible to the public so that the posts and photo albums of past events can still be viewed and enjoyed!

We can’t wait to welcome you all back to our amazing historic sites for another exciting year at the Dickinson House Museum, Watson’s Mill, and Used Book Store/Carriage Shed!
