About Laura Secord Homestead
The historic Laura Secord Homestead stands in the charming village of Queenston, just off the scenic Niagara Parkway. This enchanting heritage site was the home of Canada’s most famous heroine, Laura Secord, from 1803 to 1835. It was the starting point of her perilous 32-kilometre journey to warn the British of an imminent American surprise attack during the War of 1812. Despite being ransacked by invading American soldiers during the Battle of Queenston Heights, the beautifully restored home now welcomes visitors for tours highlighting stories of Secord’s brave adventures interpreted by authentically costumed guides.
