The Niagara County Historical Society will open the historic Col. William Bond/Jesse Hawley House to the public between 1 and 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 17, and Sunday, Dec. 18.
Organizers said, “Completed in 1824 – and now on the National Register of Historic Places – the Col. Bond House was the first brick house in Lockport. In December, every room on its three floors delights guests with 19th century-style Christmas decorations.
“The special holiday open house will give members of the public a rare opportunity to see inside the famous building that was home to Col. William Bond – one of the original landholders and developers in Lockport – and later to Jesse Hawley, who published the newspaper articles that led to the creation of the Erie Canal.”
The Col. William Bond/Jesse Hawley House is at 143 Ontario St., Lockport. Admission to the open house will be free of charge – though donations to the Historical Society will be gratefully accepted.
