Local history is brought to life again at this informative museum, which occupies a two-story, limestone structure built as a town hall in 1874. Within its walls, visitors can browse displays about the 1814 Battle of Lundy's Lane, geological creations, or visit The Ontario Power Generation Gallery, and exhibit interactively showcasing the history of electricity. Other exhibits center around vintage toys, a recreated Victorian room, Indian artifacts, art glass and the rise of tourism in Niagara, thanks to the presence of the Falls. Outside is a fountain dating to 1901 that honors Queen Victoria's long reign. The museum is surely a unique spot, and once renovations are complete it will mesmerize anyone who walks through its doors.
