A Step Back In Time Walking Tour

Several Steam Ship Lines ran to and from Niagara (NOTL). The Niagara Harbour and Dock Company, Niagara Navigation Company, to name a few. The Cayuga appeared to... have run until 1956, when it finally ceased due to lack of business. I attached the schedule. Please do not wait, It will not be arriving? See more

The Erie and Ontario Railroad received a loan of 25,000 pounds in 1854 from the Town of Niagara, to extend the railway from Chippawa to Niagara. (NOTL). The lin...e opened on June 24, 1854. It was the third steam railway to operate in Upper Canada.A station with passenger and freight facilities had been constructed on the wharf at Niagara (NOTL). The attached map shows the line going down King Street to the Dockyard. The train connected with passengers from the Steam Ships. It was also at this time when ice coming down the river would damage our dockyards. Now prevented by the boom up river. See more

Fort Niagara as seen from the landing spot of the first wave of "The United Empire Loyalists " arriving on the shore of West Niagara, on the now Royal Queens Park.

Some of the stops along the way.

I have had several Tours to date. I am having so much fun doing the Tours. The International Tourists are having fun posing with me in my old costume. I love telling them about our Old Town history.
