The Loyalist footprint, left behind when Tapleytown was first settled, may be fading, but the heritage of this area, the geographical centre of Stoney Creek Mountain, is retained through the continuation of several heriatge buildings and the relatively low-density development that has occurred in the 20th century.

Though the rise of the automobile may have whittled away at Tapleytown's economic strength (its shops and farms), its relative isolation from the busy urban centres to the north makes the former hamlet an ideal place to live.

This on-line exhibit is only a portion of the Erland Lee Museum's photographic archives.
