Niagara Falls #2 September 2008

Niagara-on-the-Lake was an early Loyalist settlement, an “underground railroad” destination and the first capitol of Upper Canada. During the War of 1612, it was even invaded by American forces who occupied Fort George and the town for seven months before retreating and burning down all the buildings.
Today this charming village is full of elegant 19th century homes surrounded by beautiful gardens and is zoned against any fast food or commercial establishments.
