Each year new exhibitions are prepared by the Pinhey's Point Foundation to complement public programming by City of Ottawa heritage staff. Throughout the house, visitors can browse period room settings and featured displays to learn about the Pinhey family and property, their gentry neighbours and the history of March Township. Artifacts and images are drawn from the Foundation's collections and elsewhere.

Built in the early 19th Century and occupied by the Pinhey family until the early 1970s, Horaceville has welcomed visitors as a unique heritage site for nearly 30 years. That achievement has been the result of the co-operative efforts of a number of dedicated individuals, organizations, and municipal and provincial bodies. This display, prepared by the Pinhey’s Point Foundation to mark its 30th anniversary, looks back over the collective achievements and is dedicated to all who have played a role in the development of the site.
Milestones and Highlights at Pinhey’s Point
Remedies, Elixirs and Medical Men
Drawing on documentation and artifacts of the Pinhey family and their circle, this exhibit examines health care in old March Township. To prepare for life on the frontier Hamnett brought with him from England a ship apothecary kit and a number of medical books. Among them is the oldest book (1712) in Hamnett Pinhey’s library. His diaries give an indication of some whom he treated, even of medicines he used for his own family and recommended to others.
