Drummond Hill Cemetery Tours

The City of Niagara Falls Museums will again be offering our popular walking tours of Drummond Hill Cemetery during weekends in the month of October. These tours offer visitors a unique opportunity to discover another side of Niagara Falls’ history.

These night-time tours take visitors through one of the most historic cemeteries in Canada. The guides will lead performances that provide a glimpse into the lives of some of the famous and not so famous people from the history of Niagara Falls. The tours include music, theatrical scenes, costumed performers and vignettes of people who are buried in the cemetery.

Assistant Curator of the Niagara Falls Museums, Sara Byers says, “This theatrical experience is a good introduction to the worlds of community and professional theatre as well as the field of living history.”

The museum makes every attempt to provide appropriate period costumes but assistance from the volunteers is always appreciated. Tours run October 12, 13, 19, 20, 26 & 27 at 7pm, 8pm & 9pm. The tours depart from the cemetery gates located on Buchner Place off of Drummond Road.

The tour cost is $12.00 per person. Tickets are available by reservation only, by visiting the Niagara Falls History Museum at 5810 Ferry Street or by calling 905-358-5082. Space is limited, and tickets will not be sold at the door.

Photos from previous years’ events and of this year’s cast are available to media upon request.

A Walk Through History is a project of the Niagara Cultural Capital Of Canada 2012 program and funding support from the Department of Canadian Heritage and the Region of Niagara is gratefully acknowledged.
