NIAGARA FARMERS MARKET
The farmers market is where our local farmers can come and sell their gorgeous Niagara produce. It is open on Saturdays from 6am until noon. (I have also seen a lady set up selling Tupperware for you hardcore hiders!) You may want to avoid this cache at those times; many muggles!

STAMFORD TOWNSHIP HALL 1874
Stamford Township Hall designed by Drummondville's noted architect, John Latshaw, was constructed by local contractors Messrs. Dutton and Brown, for $8,000 and was completed in December, 1874. The Masonic Lodge rented the upper floor, the municipal offices occupied the ground floor, and the local fire department located their firefighting apparatus in the basement. The hall also contained the local jail, while the hall's stage and auditorium were used for concerts, plays, meetings and socials from 1882. When the Village of Drummondville became the Village of Niagara Falls. The village council also shared the hall with the township until 1904, at which time the Village of Niagara Falls united with the neighbouring town of Niagara Falls (formerly the Town of Clifton) to form the new city of Niagara Falls. The township continued to use the hall until 1963 when it amalgamated with the City of Niagara Falls. The city engineering department occupied the building until 1970 when it relocated to the new City Hall in 1971. The City of Niagara Falls established the Lundy's Lane Historical Museum, which is operated by the City of Niagara Falls Board of Museums.

QUEEN VICTORIA FOUNTAIN, 1901
This memorial drinking fountain, commemorating the long and beneficent Reign of Queen Victoria, was erected by the grateful citizens of Stamford Township and the Village of Drummondville, in 1901. Originally located on the northwest corner of Lundy's Lane and Main Street (The Historic Portage Road), the fountain was relocated to this site in 1923 due to increasing traffic at that busy intersection.
