WELCOME TO NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE | Welcome to Niagara-on-the -Lake |
People have lived in NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE for over 10,000 years and has the distinction of being the most historic town in Ontario. Many wonderful features make the town unique with a number of historic sites, award-winning wineries, first class hotels and Bed& Breakfast guest houses, superb restaurants and shops and the renowned Shaw Festival Theatres.
Hans and I really enjoyed strolling through the town along Queen Street with all its colorful shops. We also explored nearby Fort George and toured Inniskillin Winery. So if you are ever in the Niagara Falls region, be sure not to miss this historic gem. |
| Niagara District Court House |
|  | NIAGARA DISTRICT COURT HOUSE This is the third and only surviving Court House erected for the former Niagara District . Constructed between 1846 and 1848, it was designed by a prominent Toronto architect in neoclassical style favoured for 19th century public buildings. Located on Queen Street, the NIAGARA DISTRICT COURT HOUSE or Le Palais de Justice du District de Niagara, became the Town Hall in 1862. Restored in 1981as the town's bicentennial project, the building houses a refurbished Lord Mayor's Chambers, the Chamber of Commerce and Parks Canada offices. During the Shaw Festival season, an intimate 327 seat theatre operates from within the Court House. |
