Niagara History Center press release & photo
The Niagara History Center is renewing its wintertime, cabin fever “Soup & Story” event on Saturday, Feb. 28. The event will be held from noon until 2 p.m. at 215 Niagara St., Lockport, and include a delicious meal and a special presentation by the Buffalo Maritime Museum. Following a lunch of soup, bread and dessert, representatives from the Buffalo Maritime Museum will present a program detailing the journey of the boat “Seneca Chief,” as it traveled across New York during the Erie Canal bicentennial last summer.
Guests will learn how the boat was researched and constructed in Buffalo, as well plans for the Seneca Chief’s return to Western New York in the summer of 2026. They can also view the History Center’s exhibit, “The Haudenosaunee & the Erie Canal: Dispossession and Displacement” to learn how the construction and subsequent operation of the New York state waterway affected Native American communities across the state.
Reservations are required for this event, as seating is limited. There is suggested donation of $10 per person. For reservations or more information, call the Niagara History Center at 716-434-7433 or email info@niagarahistory.org.
