Open Belle Vue's Doors Again

After the War of 1812, the promise of Belle Vue gave us hope. Today, Belle Vue National Historic Site Amherstburg inspires future generations by connecting people, preserving national heritage and fueling the creative vitality of our communities!

Thanks to an inspired decision based on meticulous feasibility research by CAO John Micelli, this national and local historical treasure will now be protected and preserved for generations to come. Residents may be assured that the people forming the new Belle Vue Conservancy group will be working closely with the citizens of Amherstburg to ensure the building will be used appropriately.

Through collaboration and partnerships, The Amherstburg Belle Vue Conservancy is dedicated to raising 1 million dollars for Phase 1 of restoration to secure; a new roof, windows, gutters and foundation work. These core repairs are of absolute urgency in order to stabilize the house after years of severe neglect.
