Located in the former Bertie Township Hall, Fort Erie Historical Museum is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of local history from Fort Erie to Stevensville to Crystal Beach. A highlight of the collection is a series of original paintings by Alexander von Erichsen, documenting the Fenian Raid of 1866. Fort Erie Historical Museum’s 2011-2014 special exhibitions will focus on the social history of the years surrounding the War of 1812, examining what everyday life was like for Fort Erie’s early residents.
