Niagara Apothecary Museum - Niagara-on-the-Lake Ontario
The Niagara Apothecary was once a law firm that was converted into an apothecary. Or in today's language a pharmacy. This place used to sell Leeches and during the golden days of patent medicine pharmacists could literally sell you snake oil and make preposterous claims about what it could do for you.

The town is home to the Shaw Festival, a series of theatrical productions featuring the works of George Bernard Shaw, his contemporaries, or plays about his era (1856–1950), running from April to November. The festival operates three theatres in the centre of town: the Festival, Royal George, and Court House theatres, and features one of a repertory acting company, scenic staff, and collection of resident and guest directors considered some of the best in the English-speaking world.
The surrounding region enjoys a comparatively mild climate thanks to the adjoining lakes, and excellent soil for fruit production, for which it has become one of Canada's centres. In particular, NOTL has grown into a major viticultural region. Visitors flock to dozens of nearby wineries, including those making the world's largest volumes of ice wine. The town is also known for its gardens, art galleries, antique shops, and golf courses. There are many hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts, vacation rentals and spas in the area.
Historic sites
Most of the former military sites, such as Fort George, Navy Hall, and Butler's Barracks, have been restored. Fort George's restoration was done as a Make Work Project, guided by plans from the Royal Engineers, during the Great Depression of the 1930s, an early example of historic preservation. Fort George National Historic Site is a focal point in a collection of War of 1812 sites which, collectively, are managed by Parks Canada under the name Niagara National Historic Sites. That administrative name includes several national historic sites: Fort Mississauga, Mississauga Point Lighthouse (1804, the first on the Great Lakes), Navy Hall, Butler's Barracks, and Queenston Heights.
Niagara-on-the-Lake teems with historical plaques, many national and provincial, reflecting its significance in the establishment of many of the province's institutions. Among these were its first newspaper, lending library, parliament, historical museum, and governing body for the legal profession. Critical battles in the defence of Upper Canada took place here, at Queenston, including one in which heroine Laura Secord gained her fame. The town gave many black Americans their first taste of freedom, both as a stop on the Underground railroad for those travelling further into Upper Canada, and as a refuge in its own right. Its stock of Regency and Classical Revival buildings, considered the best in the country from the post-War of 1812 period, led the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada to recommend that the town's historic district be designated a National Historic Site of Canada, a designation which was approved in 2003.The historic centre had already been designated as a provincial Heritage Conservation District under the Ontario Heritage Act in 1986. And, although it did not make the final list, the Historic District was considered for nomination as a World Heritage Site.
Other significant sites in Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL):
The town contains other National Historic Sites of Canada within its boundaries: the Battlefield of Fort George and nearby Fort George, Butler's Barracks, Fort Drummond, Fort Mississauga, the site of the Mississauga Point Lighthouse, the Niagara Apothecary (the oldest apothecary in Canada), the Niagara District Court House, Queenston Heights, Queenston-Chippawa Hydro-electric Plant, Willowbank and Vrooman's Battery.
Old Court House Theatre 1847
St. Mark's Church 1791 - oldest Anglican Church in Ontario
St. Vincent de Paul 1826 - oldest Catholic Church in Ontario
McFarland House, built ca. 1800, is the oldest surviving building in Niagara-on-the-Lake. During the War of 1812 the house was used as both a hospital and Officers' Quarters, therefore it survived the Burning on Newark in December 1813. It is now open to the public for guided tours, as well as a tea patio and mini cafe.

The Tale of A Town - St. Catharines | The Standard
Presented by FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre, FIXT POINT and Suitcase in Point Theatre Company at Oddfellows Hall, 36 James Street, St. Catharines.
The Tale of a Town – St. Catharines will be presented at the historic Odd Fellows Hall, 36 James St from 13 October – 23 October 2015.
The show takes audiences inside the newsroom as staff create the first print of the first edition of The New Old Standard, a retrospective report on downtown St. Catharines. Inspired by living memories gathered through over 100 interviews with business leaders and community members including Walter Ostanek, Doug Herod, Marilyn I. Walker and many of our City’s leaders. The Tale of a Town - St. Catharines weaves oral histories and archives with live music and performance to take you on a trip to the time of Jerry's Alley, Art's Restaurant and the glory days of downtown when everything was the best. Or was it? Maybe the best is yet to come...
The Tale of a Town is a theatre and media project with an aim to capture the collective community memory of Canada's Main Streets, one story at a time, while preserving local heritage and promoting neighbourhood culture. The production was developed at In the Soil Arts Festival in 2011 and 2013. In 2014, FIXT POINT launched a national tour of The Tale of a Town - Canada in collaboration with The National Arts Centre and presenting partners from across the country.
Our community has been dreaming of a dedicated facility for the performing arts for many years, and the time has nearly come for us to inhabit our new home. As excitement and anticipation build for the public opening of our new home for the performing arts, the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre invites the community to join this celebration of downtown St. Catharines past, present and future.

Dad's Home Movies #2 - 1961-1962
Dad's Home Movies Reel 2 (of 4) - 1961-1962
THREE DECADES OF STORIES
Featuring the 8mm cinematography of Al Seaboyer!
The bobby socks and hairdos, the cross-Canada tours, the loved ones near and far! It’s all here in Dad’s Home Movies, featuring the Oscar-contending cinematography of Allison Theodore Seaboyer.
This first-ever exclusive four-reel collection on YouTube stars a motley crew of characters and places long gone. RCMP boats, bachelor parties and softball teams... a wedding and babies and family vacations... from secluded ocean inlets, to old West Vancouver gardens, to Nova Scotian sawmills and all the miles in between.
Dad has shared and preserved historical events, Christmases past, and the joy of the everyday moment. With music from yesterday and today, it’s a new appreciation for the view behind the lens of Dad’s silent 8mm wind-up Nikon camera. Through the years, we watched these little Kodachrome films with a Brownie projector purchased for $7.10 at Seymour Pharmacy in Campbell River.
Enjoy, smile and “See ya later, Alligator!”
