7. St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre at Lock 3
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 386 reviews
Reviewed By operalover939 - Toronto, Canada
The museum offers interesting insight into the history of St Catharines and the role that the Welland Canal played in its development. The attached Ontario Lacrosse Hall of Fame is quirky but engaging, at least to someone who as a teenager watched box lacrosse in Victoria. An unexpected bonus that we were able to watch from the viewing platform as the CSL Assiniboia passed through Lock 3. It fit in well with our timed visit, 1 1/2 hours to allow for cleaning between time slots.

Come and view the historic foundation of Decew House. This was Laura Secord's destination when she set out on her celebrated trek from Queenston over the rough terrain of the Niagara Escarpment in June of 1813 to warn the British military of an impending American attack. The foundation of DeCew House has been preserved as a memorial and a park site. Take the time to stroll down the road to see Morningstar Mill. Take a hike and view the mill and the old homestead.
