Cataract House Walking Tour

Niagara Falls, New York

Group Size

Duration

1 hour

Step into the powerful legacy of freedom seekers in Niagara Falls. Just steps from the border, the Cataract House was once a luxurious hotel and a secret center of activity on the Underground Railroad.

This 60 minute walking tour brings you to the site of the former Cataract House, where free Black waitstaff, including figures like John Morrison and Catherine Polk, courageously guided enslaved people to freedom across the Niagara River. Walk the same streets where history was made and hear the stories that continue to inspire.
