The NOTL Museum and hosts Lauren and Vaughn Goettler invited members of the Niagara-on-the-Lake community to an evening gathering last week to learn about the museum's planned expansion and renovation. Standing under a tent in their backyard, the Goettlers spoke fondly of their longtime connection to the museum which began when they learned that the original landscape plans for their historic home had been carefully preserved by museum staff. The event was one of a series of information gatherings the museum is planning in order to spread the word about the expansion project and generate community feedback and support. (Supplied)
