An Invincible Nature: Seeking to Settle the Short Hills - Niagara Geopark Speaker Series

  • The Brown Homestead 1317 Pelham Road St. Catharines, ON, L2R 6P7 Canada (map)

Join Sara Nixon of The Brown Homestead to discover how the landscape of the Short Hills enticed early settlers, including the Loyalist Brown family, to settle around its edges, and the role its "inviolable" terrain played in the development of this small nook of the Niagara Peninsula. Stories will be traced from pre-settlement uses by Indigenous peoples through to the creation of Short Hills Provincial Park in 1985.

Doors open @ 6:00pm for tours of The Brown Homestead prior to the talk.

This is a free event.
