About Niagra Heritage Walking Tour

Come and march to a different drum on this uniquely curated history walk.

Straight onto the battlefield for a tongue-in-cheek exploration of this crucial War of 1812 site. We walk in the footsteps of campaign leaders and pioneer families caught in between.

We visit the men, women, and families displaced by this pivotal battle exploring the battlefield and piecing together a local's perspective meeting these larger-than-life early Niagara residents.

As we zig-zag the site, we'll examine the war from multiple perspectives: merchants, industrialists, farmers, First Nations, British, American & more.

Themes:

The Bonapartes: It's their fault.”

The Lundy's Lane NHS and Drummond Hill cemetery

Who lost: the First Nations and casualties

Industrial revolutions, slavery, war & rebellions

Why it all matters today & heroes of the past

During our walk, please afford every respect due to each person's resting place when visiting the cemeteries and memorials; you would want the same respect held.

The discussion can be tweaked depending on participant knowledge and preference, i.e., sociological impact, military strategy, reported paranormal activity, etc.

Walk normally terminates at Lundy's Lane and Drummond Rd but can be altered to terminate near the falls if parking or mobility aren't issues.
