Greetings History Supporters!

It’s time for the Niagara History Center’s Annual Spring Appeal. Donations to this drive contribute to our ongoing mission to preserve, promote and interpret the diverse cultural heritage of the people, places and events related to Niagara County and the Erie Canal through tours, programs and special events.

The Niagara History Center maintains and interprets seven buildings at three locations in Lockport. The main campus at 215 Niagara Street has five buildings with exhibits on Native Americans, pioneers, transportation, the Civil War, agriculture and trades, business and industry, and a restored 1835 land/law office. The Erie Canal Discovery Center at 24 Church Street offers exhibits, a short film and hands-on elements on the history of the “Flight of Five” locks on the canal in Lockport. The Col. William Bond House at 143 Ontario Street is an 1824 National Register house furnished in the mid-19th century period.
