Discover Niagara’s Early Settlers

Travel main roads that were once part of a complex Indigenous trail network. Learn about the United Empire Loyalists who built the foundations for our communities today. Step into the stories of those who fought in the War of 1812, as well as those who were impacted by it.

This VisitList encourages you to take old Hwy #8 (or the Iroquois Trail) to discover the museums, historic sites, and monuments that together tell a varied and vibrant story of the early settlers of Niagara.
