Ottawa Huron Tract History is a humanities organization operating under the brand name Heritage Stories. We hear, tell, and share histories about the region of Southern Ontario covered by the Canadian Shield and we explore human expression in cultural, societal, experiential, and individual contexts. We publish books, including local histories, picture books and plays, create original local history exhibits and maps, and host Heritage Stories festivals to promote humanities and the arts and to advance understanding of ourselves, our community, and the world.
