At the time, taverns were also important gathering places for local community members. These were places where travelling salespeople and service-providers conducted business, and where area residents gathered socially. Like elsewhere in Upper Canada, taverns were places where there could sometimes be trouble. Social gatherings that took place in drinking establishments sometimes led to violence. This unrest, in turn, gave rise to the Temperance Movement. In January 2023, in partnership with the Township of Rideau Lakes, Allison Margot Smith released a film looking at this topic, and the way it manifested itself in the villages of Rideau Ferry and Lombardy. The film looks at the historic taverns of these villages, some of which still exist as private homes. Over the past few years, a partnership has existed between Allison Margot Smith and the Township of 1 Rideau Lakes to produce a series of short historical _ documentary films on topics about the Township.

The Township makes the films available using URLs and QR codes that are physically posted in the villages, as well as on the Township's Heritage Map, and in paper handouts, like the Picnic Guide. The films are rendered in a format that enables people to watch them on their phone or tablet while visiting the area. The film entitled "Taverns and Their Keepers" was the fourth in the series.
