Niagara Falls History Museum

A modern way to journey through the past

Originally built in 1874 and housed within the old Stamford Town Hall, Niagara Falls History Museum will take you through the rich history of the city.

The Museum is located just steps from the Drummond Hill Cemetery, the focal point of the Battle of Lundy’s Lane, widely considered to be the bloodiest battle of the War of 1812.

A recent upgrade of the building included the introduction of three beautiful galleries and engaging interactive displays. During your visit, you get the opportunity to try on a replica uniform from the War of 1812, walk on a tightrope, and much more. With plenty of hands-on exhibits, this is an exciting experience for adults and children alike.

Slightly out of the main touristy stuff, this is well worth a visit if you’re looking for something interesting to do when visiting the Falls. It was very quiet when we went which was good as we had...

What an amazing way to spend an hour or so out of the tourist district! Three separate exhibits. 50s fashion, War of 1812 and all about Niagara Falls. $6 a person. No better value. Great little gift...

Really worth it to take a short walk from the city centre and have a 1 hour introduction into niagara falls history including the war from 1812.
