Drummond Hill Cemetery Tours<\/p>\n

These night-time tours take visitors through one of the most historic cemeteries in\u00a0Canada. The guides will lead performances that provide a glimpse into the lives of\u00a0some of the famous and not so famous people from the history of Niagara Falls. The\u00a0tours include music, theatrical scenes, costumed performers and vignettes of people\u00a0who are buried in the cemetery.<\/p>\n
Assistant Curator of the Niagara Falls Museums, Sara Byers says, \u201cThis theatrical\u00a0experience is a good introduction to the worlds of community and professional theatre\u00a0as well as the field of living history.\u201d<\/p>\n
