Historic Sites in Fort Erie

"This 15,000-sq-ft house, completed in 1905, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for his friend and patron Darwin D Martin. Representing Wright's Prairie House ideal, it consists of six interconnected buildings, each meticulously restored inside and out. Two tour options (book online) offer different levels of detail on this elaborate project."

"The Martin House is a beautiful home, but it’s so much more than that. With over 29,000 square feet, this is a place that is much more like a museum. Stunning architecture will delight the parents, and the fun tour will keep the children entertained."

"Why You Should Go: The home of Canada’s most famous heroine who saved countless lives through her actions and courage in the war of 1812. When: Outdoor garden tours open July 2nd. Where: 29 Queenston St, Queenston"

"Designated as a nature reserve in 1992, Niagara Glen is one of the most popular areas for hiking on the Canadian side of the river. The hiking trails here are a bit more challenging than the other two parks mentioned, so proper footwear and a reasonable fitness level are musts. One of the highlights of this area is the overlook to the famous Niagara River whirlpool which is reached via the River Path."

"Located deep in the Niagara Gorge, the nature reserve features over two miles of rugged paths that wind through the Carolinian Forest, past prehistoric geological formations, wild flora and fauna. The Niagara Glen also overlooks the rapid waters of the Niagara River and the amazing Niagara River Whirlpool. Don’t worry about navigating this one alone, guided tours are available!"

"This 350-acre park is one of three in the city designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. It includes meadows, forests, lakes, rose and Japanese-style gardens, sports facilities, picnic areas and the grounds of Buffalo Zoo."
