Niagara Falls History Museum

Niagara Falls History Museum

 Housing a vast collection of Niagara Falls history, the Museum provides a showcase for the unique history of the famous city. We are currently undergoing $10M in renovations, creating a dynamic space to examine and explore our diverse history.  The renovation and expansion was designed by Toronto firm Moryama and Teshima and have three unique galleries telling the most compelling Niagara Falls stories with engaging and hands on exhibitions.  The museum is located within steps of the Drummond Hill Cemetery, which is the focal point for the Battle of Lundy’s Lane which was the ‘bloodiest battle of the War of 1812′ and the starting point for any trip to this battlefield will be a visit to the Museum.

The museum staff is temporarily housed at the Victoria Street Armoury in Niagara Falls while renovations are underway.
