Member Historic Sites
Every National Historic Site in Ontario is automatically a member of NHSAO. We facilitate communication and networking, provide useful information, and advocate for national historical sites and heritage sites in general. We also seek to promote provincial sites to tourists and potential visitors. Here are thematic groupings and an alphabetical listing of Ontario’s over 250 National Historic Sites with links to descriptive websites wherever possible.
