Niagara Falls History Museum

Posted on by
The Niagara Falls History Museum currently has three exhibits; Food for Health, Gale Family War of 1812, and the Niagara Falls Community Gallery. The Food for Health exhibit is the only exhibit that is not currently ongoing and will be coming to an end on January 3rd, 2016. This exhibit takes a look at the foods we eat and how they do much more than entertain our tastebuds. It takes a closer look at these foods, how you prepare them, and how they affect your body. Are you REALLY what you eat? Find out before January 3rd!

Fort Mississauga

Posted on by
Fort Mississauga is a military constructed fortress that was built after the War of 1812. It served as a counterpoise to Fort Niagara on the American side. It is now the only remaining example, in Canada, of this type of military structor (which is a square tower with star shaped earthwork). The building overlooks the Niagara River and is surrounded by a surreal green grass golfing field. Perfect for history buffs or just for packing a picnic near an architectural masterpiece!

Navy Hall

Posted on by
Navy Hall is a collection of several buildings, that were once British Naval barracks. The Navy Hall was destroyed by American forces during the War of 1812 but was rebuilt after the war and some of the original buildings still remain today. The buildings are not open to the public but are available to be rented out for special events, such as weddings. The Navy Hall is located on the Niagara River and can seat up to 80 people for dinner.
