“Me and my son popped in just to see what it was about and loved it. The staff were super friendly and really informative. Learning about this niche piece of history that you won't find in history books was really interesting and fun. I would recommend it to anyone that hasn't gone.”

“Great place operated by a very knowledgeable and professional owner who cares about local history and celebrates the past (but focuses on the future!). Definitely a place to stop and enjoy the good ol' days of Niagara Falls!”
