Dixie Chick with owner Tracy Coppens, Hustler with Linda Gordon and Molly Magic with owner Jeffrey Gordon made a stop after their annual visit to residents at Maryhill Manor.

“This is the third time the horses have come to see us at the Woods while they were in the neighborhood,” Niagara Area Historical Society President Karen Klenke said. “It’s become a tradition now.”

Klenke noted the owners expressed how much the horses also enjoy spending time at the museum’s corner lot.

“It’s very cool to see these beautiful, calm animals in this beautiful, serene space,” she added.

Visitors can find many important pieces of Niagara history at the “museum without wall,” including the “red shed,” which was the former mill site fire shed. The space is open 24/7, year-round.

The Niagara Area Historical Society reminds the community they are once again offering personalized commemorative bricks. Orders will be accepted until Aug. 31.

The commemorative bricks, which will be engraved in honor or in memory of a loved one, will be installed next spring.

“We encourage community members to think of family and friends past and present to honor,” Klenke said.

This year, the historical society placed 212 bricks along the red cement pathway.

Forms to purchase the fundraiser bricks can be found at the Serenity Woods church pew, Nicolet Bank and Forward Financial in Niagara.

The Woods is on the corner of Jefferson Avenue and Quincy Street in Niagara.
