Since then, we have worked relentlessly to turn these magnificent hotels into destinations for the most discerning travellers. With the addition of The Millcroft Inn northwest of Toronto, the grand vision continues.
How do I donate to the collectionEstablished in 1895, the Niagara Historical Society is dedicated to understanding the history of NiagaraontheLake.
