Description

Home of Canadian heroine Laura Secord, who warned the British of an impending American attack during the War of 1812, this museum features genuine furnishings from the era. Costumed guides relate the story of how Laura risked death in uncharted woods through enemy lines to reach British command after overhearing an American plan to ambush the British. Located in Queenston and under the administration of the Niagara Parks Commission, the homestead marks the starting point of her 32-mile trek.
