​What We've Accomplished

The Lundy's Lane Historical Museum was established in 1961 by the Lundy's Lane Historical Society and opened in the Mackenzie House on Drummond Road, the next year the Museum was turned over to the newly amalgamated City of Niagara Falls. In 1970 the Museum moved from its former site at Drummond Road and Lundy's Lane to its present home at 5810 Ferry Street.

This handsome two-storey limestone building was erected in 1874 on the site of the Battle of Lundy's Lane and served as the Stamford Township Hall. John Latshaw, a prominent local architect, was the designer for what is now one of the few remaining structures of that time period in the City of Niagara Falls. In its early days the building's basement housed the Drummondville Fire Department.

Stamford Township Council met here until 1962 when the Township and the City of Niagara Falls amalgamated. From 1963 until 1964 the building housed the City of Niagara Falls Engineering Department as well as the Welland and District Health Department. The Lundy's Lane Historical Society was given the building in 1971, becoming the Lundy's Lane Historical Museum and in 1974 the building was designated as an Historic Building under the provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act. The year 2000 marked the building's 125th anniversary and the Museum's 30th. On January 1st, 2010, the City of Niagara Falls took direct operation of the museum and it became Niagara Falls History Museum.
