Photographic Memory Opens

Today, our community is rich in heritage and culture, and our wine and tender fruit industries draw tourists from around the world. But Niagara-on-the-Lake has changed a lot since the 1980s. This exhibition explores photographs and memories of our community from 1945-1985, during a period when Niagara-on-the-Lake was described as “a quiet little”. It was a place where kids would go to the local store for penny candy, milk and bread were delivered, and the town had its own barbershops, shoemaker, and coal companies. Even if you didn’t grow up in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the photographs in this exhibition are like calling cards for nostalgia.
