Do you love making Granny Squares, but don’t know what to do with them? Or maybe you'd like to learn how to make fun new designs? Well, you're in luck!

Participate in our Community Quilt Project, running from January 15 to March 15th. Simply bring in your 5" x 5" granny squares to add to our community-made quilt to any branch. When completed, the finished Granny Square Quilt will be donated to the Dialysis Unit at Welland Hospital, as a heartfelt gift from our community—stitching together comfort, colour, and care.

Join Douglas Pirelli, Director of Archeological Survey, University at Buffalo (UB), to discover more about the Cataract House hotel, the busiest Underground Railroad crossing on the Niagara frontier. Its predominantly African American wait staff played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad, orchestrating the escapes of freedom seekers into Canada. 

The Cataract House suffered a fire in 1945, and was demolished in 1946, and the a team of UB archaeologists began excavating the site in 2017.

This talk is held in partnership with the Niagara Peninsula Society of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA).
