As spring finally returns, so do the eagerly awaited Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum’s Neighbourhood
Walks. Held on Fridays throughout May, these popular tours consistently sell out shortly after they’re
announced. Their appeal lies in the chance to discover distinctive corners of Niagara-on-the-Lake,
guided by knowledgeable storytellers who bring each area’s unique history and character to life.
This year’s walks begin on May 2 nd , with Linda Fritz exploring the nooks and crannies of the historic
village of Queenston. On May 9 th , Tony Chisholm will again bring the once-industrial heartland of Niagara
to life, as he explores the ever-changing Waterfront area. Rick Meloen will lead a tour through the
Chautauqua area, with stories that capture the early settlement and development of this prized
community. On May 23 rd , Megan Gilchrist will illustrate the growth of St. Davids with tales of its most
colourful characters, from ‘butchers and bakers to candlestick makers’. And the last neighbourhood
tour is actually a Neighbourhood Bike Ride, with Ted Rumble leading a tour to discover many of the
Ordnance Boundary Stones placed in the mid 19 th century around the perimeter of the four military
reserves in the town of Niagara. All tours begin at 6pm, with limited numbers of participants for each
tour.
