Laura Ingersoll Secord, heroine of the War of 1812 came to Upper Canada from Massachusetts with her father and siblings in 1795. Her father, who had sided with the Patriots during the American revolution, came to Canada in hopes of regaining his lost family fortune. The Ingersolls settled in the Niagara Peninsula and opened a tavern. It was in Niagara that Laura met James Secord, a United Empire Loyalist. Two years after her arrival, Laura and James were married. In the early 1800's the Secords moved to Queenston from nearby St. David’s. It was from this Queenston homestead that Laura Secord began the journey that has earned her a place in Canadian history.
