- Description
- Over the course of three years in the mid-1970s, the Niagara Falls Heritage Foundation received grants from the Canada Works Programs. These grants enabled the foundation to have a series of watercolours painted, mainly based on famous paintings of Niagara from earlier centuries. In addition, watercolours of major events of historical importance, such as the battles of the War of 1812, were produced. The aim of these paintings was to have readily reproducible art works of Niagara Falls. When the Foundation disbanded in the mid-1990s. ownership of these paintings was transferred to the Niagara Falls Public Library.
