Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum
The most important aspect of the work of the Niagara Historical Society (est. 1895) is the maintenance of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum collection which began in 1896 and is one of Ontario's most important collections. Plan a visit to the Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum to discover the unique stories of historic Niagara-on-the-Lake. Located 20km north of Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake provided a new home for refugees, was the capital of Upper Canada, was in the middle of a war zone and visited by millions as a place of recreation for over 100 years; these stories play a major role in the development of Canada.
