The Nathaniel Dett Memorial Chapel British Methodist Episcopal Church, located in Niagara Falls, Ontario, has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1814. The Norval Johnson Heritage Library, founded in 1991, serves as an invaluable resource center for students, researchers, and the community, focusing on local and Niagara Region Black Canadian history materials and genealogical research.
Situated on property donated by freedom seeker Oliver Pernell in the historic Drummondville area of Niagara Falls, the Nathaniel Dett Memorial Chapel is a designated National Historic Site along the Underground Railroad. As part of the Norval Johnson Heritage Centre, it is a key stop on the Niagara Freedom Trail Tour, offering guided tours and educational presentations for visitors.
Volunteers play a crucial role in operating the library and providing information services for the chapel, contributing to the preservation and dissemination of local Underground Railroad history. With a 1,400-volume reference library, Next Generation genealogy program access, a gift shop, and wheelchair accessibility, the Centre offers a comprehensive and enlightening experience for all who visit.
