About this experience

Uncover the powerful second leg of the Underground Railroad on this scholarly 3-hour tour. Travel from Niagara Falls, Ontario through the charming wine country of Niagara-on-the-Lake to St. Catharines—where Harriet Tubman built her abolitionist stronghold and spiritual home at Salem Chapel, British Methodist Episcopal Church.

Hear compelling stories—many shared by descendants of Freedom Seekers—and visit sites central to the African-Canadian experience. Explore historic freedom-crossing points, learn the Suspension Bridge’s connection to Tubman, and take in panoramic views of Niagara Falls with the roar of the mighty river beneath you.

This tour blends key Underground Railroad landmarks with major regional attractions—truly a two-for-one experience.

If you love history, this tour is for you. If not… it might feel like a long day!
