Niagara Baptist Church Burial Ground
The Niagara Baptist Church congregation was established in 1829. By the late 1840s, the church’s membership was predominantly Black.
The history of the Niagara Baptist Church was documented by Natasha Henry, Assistant Professor, African Canadian History at the university of Toronto and president of the Ontario Black History Society. Her research uncovered the names of at least 15 people known to be buried in the graveyard.

The current state of the cemetery is certainly not what John Oakley (former British soldier turned teacher and minister) would have foreseen
