Lewiston

Lewiston holds a wealth of history and legends. It reverberates with the pulse of a Niagara County town that has played a pivotal role throughout the years. It echoes the excitement of trade and traffic along the portage and the whispers from cellars of the Underground Railroad. It unfolds the proud character of a community that, today, is in the midst of a revival. Each year, Lewiston welcomes more than 350,000 visitors who come to enjoy concerts and festivals, theater productions and parks, waterways and, of course, history. Stunning images from the Lewiston Historical Society and Museum, Niagara Falls Public Libraries (New York and Ontario), Buffalo State College Library, Niagara Gazette, Tuscarora Nation Archive, and private collections illustrate Lewiston.
