Step Back in Time: Historic Christmas Celebrations Unveiled

The Niagara History Center is set to transport visitors back in time with its annual 'A Winter's Eve Fest' event, scheduled for December 4th. This immersive experience will showcase Christmases from various eras over the last two centuries within the walls of the historic Col. Wm. Bond House.

The Col. Bond House, constructed around 1824, holds significant local history, being the first brick home in Lockport and once owned by Jesse Hawley, an inspiration for the Erie Canal. The event's '200 Years of Christmas' theme commemorates the house's 201st anniversary in 2025.

Guests are invited to explore the beautifully decorated three-story residence, furnished with period pieces, from 6 to 8 p.m. at 143 Ontario St. in Lockport. This beloved tradition offers a festive start to the holiday season, with free admission making it accessible to everyone.
