Niagara Falls History Walks

Enjoy a 90-minute walking tour of two of Niagara Falls’ most iconic historical points of interest — Drummond Hill Cemetery & The Battle Ground Hotel Museum — located just steps from the Niagara Falls History Museum.

Begin your walking tour at the Niagara Falls History Museum, taking a short stroll to the Drummond Hill Cemetery, a nationally recognized heritage site. The guided tour will explore graves and monuments connected to the War of 1812, the Underground Railroad, a Niagara Falls daredevil, and Canadian heroine, Laura Secord.

Designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1937, the Drummond Hill Cemetery stands on the hallowed ground of the Battle of Lundy’s Lane, the bloodiest battle of the War of 1812.

Before returning to the Niagara Falls History Museum, the 90-minute experience is wrapped up with a guided tour of the Battle Ground Hotel Museum. Built in 1831, and restored to 1855, you’ll uncover stories of early Niagara tourism and 19th century tavern life.
