History of the Location.
The Museum moved to its present location in 1907. Memorial Hall is Ontario’s Oldest Museum Building and is designated by the Ontario Heritage Trust as a site of provincial significance. Designed by W.B. Allan of St. Catharines and based on drawings by Walter S. Allward, this two-storey building with a full attic has been unaltered since its construction in 1906. The foundation of the building is constructed from coursed rubble, reported to have been obtained from the ruins of the Indian Council House and Hospital (built in 1816-1817 and destroyed by fire in 1881) on the Common. In the 1940s the Society took over the 1875 High School building next door and then joined the two buildings in the 1970s to create a facility that is very sympathetic to its surroundings.
Besides the building's historical significance, Niagara-on-the-lake is rich in history.
The Town played a central part in the War of 1812. It was taken by American forces after a two-day bombardment by cannons from Fort Niagara and the American Fleet, followed by a bloody battle. Later in the war the Town was razed and burnt to the ground by American soldiers as they withdrew to Fort Niagara. Undaunted by this setback, the citizens rebuilt the Town after the War, with the residential quarter around Queen Street and toward King Street, where the new Court House was rebuilt out of firing range of the cannons of Fort Niagara.
In the 1880s, the Town was renamed as Niagara-on-the-Lake to avoid confusion with Niagara Falls.
The central part is referred to as Old Town or Old Niagara.
Paranormal Evidence
Our team first investigated this location back in 2015. Evidence we have captured would indicate that some of those who lost their lives in the battle, still remain here! We captured many EVPs that had intelligent responses to our questions. We had fluctuations on various pieces of equipment such as EMF Meters, IR Temperature and motion sensor equipment that we could not explain. We heard audible responses which were collaborated on our audio equipment and more!
During our subsequent investigations with the public, shadow-like apparitions were seen, voices heard and we experienced movement of objects! This is a great opportunity for the ghost-hunting enthusiast! You won't want to miss out on your chance to investigate here! There will be very limited spaces being offered and it will be the one and only time we investigate this location this year!
