Located on the Canadian coast of the Detroit River, overlooking the Detroit River Walk, Art Gallery of Windsor is a platform for nurturing creative expression. The history of the Art Gallery of Windsor dates back to 1943 when it was established in Willistead Manor. As the collection grew, the gallery moved to a better location, at which time it also came to be known as one of the city's most touted galleries. In the mid-1990s, the Art Gallery of Windsor temporarily shifted and moved back to its original waterfront location but in a new building, where it still proudly stands.

John Freeman Walls was a slave in North Carolina who planned to leave North Carolina for Detroit in order to escape oppression. Instead, Walls made his way to Amherstburg, Ontario in 1846 where he and his family worked for the abolishment of slavery and helped many slave fugitives begin new lives in Canada. This museum and historic site commemorates both Walls and the escape route system used to help slaves see freedom: the Underground Railway. Providing an engaging and informative experience, John Freeman Walls Historic Site and Underground Railroad Museum is managed by Walls' descendants, who do both him and this attraction justice in their commitment to preserving history.
