Historic Marker Cleaning 2022

​Who We Are, and What We Do!

Mission Statement
To discover, protect and revitalize the cultural heritage and related architectural beauty of the city and to continually educate our community and our visitors about our history.

Our History
In 2006, Mary Ann Rolland, Marge Gillies, and Rosemary Lahey co-founded the Niagara Falls Historic Preservation Society. This non-profit organization was established to advocate for historic preservation in Niagara Falls.

In 2007, the Society formalized its bylaws and mission. That same year, Tom Yots formed a working group focused on historic preservation. This group later became the Niagara Falls Historic Preservation Commission, which went on to receive Certified Local Government status.

The Niagara Falls Historic Preservation Society supported the Commission's work through activities and events that promoted historic preservation as a vehicle for economic development in the city.
