Film Series Continues Oct. 13th & 27th
EVERY OTHER THURSDAY @ 6:45pm

Introduced and programmed by Joan Nicks, our film series returns this fall with a focus on Ida Lupino. She was an English-American actress, writer, director, singer, and producer who worked primarily in the United States from the 1930s to the 1970s. Her career as director often involved tackling themes of women trapped by social conventions, and is seen as an early example of proto-feminist filmmaking. We'll be looking at films she directed, wrote, and starred in this fall at the Niagara Falls History Museum.

Have You Seen Our Latest Exhibit Yet?
 

The definition of Women’s Work has evolved over time. Once, it defined any work historically undertaken by women, especially domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and child rearing. As we enter a new decade of the 21st-century and gender roles continue to shift and grow, we understand that women’s work is a much more complex, all-encompassing term that defines all work that women do, both paid and unpaid.

By weaving together a collection of Niagara Falls stories, this exhibition seeks to celebrate the diversity of women’s roles within the labour force. It highlights not only the success of women in traditional roles, like teaching and nursing, but also showcases the strong contributions carved out by female leaders in our community as artists, broadcasters, activists, historians, managers, and politicians.

Check out this wonderful exhibition developed by the Museum team.

Sir Adam Beck

 

Adam Beck was born in Baden, Ontario on 20 June 1857. He was the son of Jacob Friedrich and Charlotte Josephine (Hespeler) Beck. His grandparents, Frederick and Barbara Beck had had moved from Baden in Germany in 1829 to New York State and then to the German community of Doon, Ontario. They settled on a farm and built a sawmill. Their son, Jacob, had stayed in New York State to work in the mills and locomotive works of Schenectady, joining them in 1837. Jacob opened a foundry in Preston, now part of Cambridge, Ontario. In 1843 he recruited an iron moulder from Buffalo, John Clare. In 1845 Jacob Beck married Charlotte Hespeler, sister of the later mayor of New Hope, the town which ultimately bore his name and now is part of Cambridge, Ontario.
