Throughout the month of May, NOTLers will be able to take a walk through history with the Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum.
Starting May 5, the museum’s Neighbourhood Walk series will return with both familiar and new walks through different pockets of town. Almost all the walks are already sold out, however.
“This year we’re focusing on four different tours,” said museum spokesperson Amy Klassen.
The first walk in the series, titled Voices of Freedom, is a Black history tour led by volunteer Jan King-Watson. The is in high demand, with only a few spots left.
The following week’s themes include the Commons, a returning walk led by Richard Merritt; architecture with new walk leader Brian Marshall, and finally the popular Chautauqua walk led by Rick Meloen.
All walks are sold out aside from Voices of Freedom, which takes place Friday, May 6, at 6 p.m. Limited tickets are available for purchase in advance at $15 by calling the museum.
Klassen said that those unable to make it to the walks but who still want to learn more can find relevant virtual lectures and content on the museum’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@NOTLMuseum.
