In the old city of Stamford, which was amalgamated with Niagara Falls long ago, sits what was once the township hall and the site where battles from the war of 1812 took place, including the battle of Lundy’s Lane. In 1974, this 134 year old building was designated a historical site under the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act and named the Lundy’s Lane Historical Museum. For close to 40 years, the museum has been one of the main information sites for the foundation of Niagara Falls, and one of the oldest buildings within the city that still remain. The Lundy’s Lane Historical Museum contains artefacts from the war of 1812, as well as children’s dolls and a Victorian parlour and kitchen. Also located on its grounds is the Queen Victoria Memorial Fountain, which commemorates the 82 years of the Queens life with lime stones, and had once been a main water source for the Stamford town’s people. The museum offers research facilities as well as a wide range of Educational group tours and programmes to suit all age groups and grade levels.

Did you know? 

The war of 1812 between the United States and Britain played a significant part in shaping the look and makeup of the City of Niagara Falls.  

Black history is also a very important part of Niagara Falls, as the City had been freedom passage for many slaves. The Drummond Cemetery, located within close quarters of Lundy’s Lane historical Museum, is the burial site of many African Americans who had established their homes in Niagara Falls.
