The
South Landing Inn was built in the early 1800's by Thomas Dickson
to accommodate many travellers on the route around the mighty falls
of Niagara. Queenston then boasted 13 inns and taverns of which
only South Landing Inn remains today.
Lovingly renovated in 1982 by innkeepers Kathy and Tony Szabo.
South Landing sits in an attractively landscaped riverside setting.
The South Landing annex which was furnished in the same traditional
manner, opened in the spring of 1987.
The village
of Queenston breathes an atmosphere of history and romance. Many
elegant homes from the early 19th century still stand today as fine
examples of Canadian architecture.
