Niagara-on-the-Lake Attractions

Niagara-on-the-Lake (pop.13,839) is a delightful small picture-book town at the northern end of the falls and on the shores of Lake Ontario. The first capital of Upper Canada, it was razed to the ground by American troops during the War of 1812 against the British, but rebuilt with all due speed.

The town is full of pretty 19th C houses set in their lovely gardens. Queen Street, its main street, has a clock tower in the middle and many little boutiques, eating places and hotels. The Niagara Apothecary, built in 1866, is especially quaint.

The little town has three theatres and is especially famous for its annual George Bernard Shaw Festival.
During the summer months Niagara-on-the-Lake is very busy with tourists from all over the world.
