The Neutral Nation were the earliest known inhabitants of the land now called Lincoln.

Neutral people were agrarian; they farmed, fished, and hunted. They grew corn, squash and beans ("three sisters"), a combination of crops that together provide a complete, non-meat protein source as well as to***co. Neutrals lived in about 40 long-house settlements that included large, fenced-in villages. Around the year 1600, their population numbered approximately 40,000 people!

Traces of the Neutrals were preserved for centuries underground. Many archaeological finds from the area reveal a strong network of trade, particularly between the Neutral peoples and French colonists.

Several faces were also found carved into the stone cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment. Sadly, these were destroyed or removed by vandals in the 1980s.

June is turtle nesting season in Ontario!

At this time of year, female turtles leave wetlands, ponds, and streams in search of places to lay their eggs. You may spot turtles crossing roads, moving through parks, or nesting in sunny areas with loose soil, sand, or gravel.

If you see a nesting turtle, please give it plenty of space and avoid disturbing it. If you notice a turtle nest, leave it undisturbed and help protect it from accidental damage.

Many of Ontario's turtle species are at risk, and every successful nest helps support their populations.

Learn how to identify and protect turtle nests:

As the spring slowly turns into summer, our herb garden fills with many insect visitors.

We snapped a picture today of this bee collecting pollen on a chamomile flower. Look closely and you can see the yellow pollen along its hind leg.

Our wine exhibit, Through the Grapevine, features historical and present-day information about Niagara's wine industry, and also some fun interactive elements. This scent station introduces visitors to some common Niagara wine aromas such as "tropical" and "red fruit". Wine scientists Drs. Jennifer Kelly and Hannah Charnock helped us make it a reality.

Recently, we've had visitors from the United States, Austria, the Shetland Islands (Scotland), India and Taiwan come explore the exhibit and museum site. It brings us joy to spread our love of Lincoln and the Niagara Region to the world!
