Laura Ingersoll Secord
1775 - 1868

Laura Ingersoll was born in a dwelling which stood on this site until 1913, when Mason Library was built. She was the daughter of Elizabeth (Dewey) and Thomas Ingersoll, a hatter and miller with privilege nearby on the Housatonic River. Looking for new opportunity, the Ingersolls relocated to Upper Canada in 1795. Laura married James Secord, a United Empire Loyalist. They were living in Queenston, Ontario at the outbreak of the War of 1812. Alerted to an impending American attack at Beaver Dams, Laura Secord in June 1813 undertook an arduous 19-mile journey through woods and swamp to warn British troops. Her tenacity and courage made her a heroine. Laura Secord was honored on a Canadian postage stamp in 1992.
