Winter on Queen Street, Niagara on-the-Lake On Back: The old town of Niagara-on-the Lake attracts strollers any time of year, even in winter. The town's ornate old courthouse, the scene of many trials, municipal meetings and the first home of Shaw festival, sets the tone for the downtown area, where old buildings have been spruced up. Even the new buildings have been designed to blend in with buildings more than a century old. Niagara-on-the lake, a place of restored buildings, stately, old homes and quiet contemplation for most of the year, gets an influx of tourists in the summer months as people arrive to soak up some history. They all want to get a look at Upper Canada's first capital and one of the oldest settlements west of Montreal. Niagara on-the-lake is also at one end of the extensive Niagara parks system with its historic sites, recreation areas and parkland designed to preserve the scenic qualities of the Niagara River. -
