Niagara-on-the-Lake is a nice little town. It's historic and it even has a memorial tower in the middle of the street for all of the Niagara-on-the-Lake citizens who died in the wars.
It was the first capital of Upper Canada from 1792-1796. The Americans took over the town during the War of 1812 and burned it to the ground when they retreated in 1814.
The whole town is laid out in a grid pattern with 4-acre blocks - actually, it's a lot like Savannah, Georgia in that way!
The picture is of the Prince of Wales Inn. It is a luxury hotel. I have not stayed there yet, but someday I will! You can also go into the Prince of Wales hotel and learn about its great history.
