Everyone is welcome to join us as we present Sara Nixon, Director of Community Engagement at The Brown Homestead as she shares the presentation "Secrets of Short Hills"
The wild ruggedness of the Short Hills is rich in history spanning millennia, and offers a unique lens into the story of Niagara. Join Sara Nixon of The Brown Homestead to discover the surprising stories hidden in its hills, valleys and waterways. We’ll uncover clues to early industry and settlement, attempts to build a military fortress, the dramatic 1838 raid led by cross-border rebels and lots more.
