One of the newest components of the Erland Lee Museum is the renovation
of the basement level and the creation of a scale replica of old Stoney
Creek.
The Hamilton, Grimsby and Beamsville Electric Railway ran through Saltfleet
Township from 1894 - 1931. It was a vital link between Stoney Creek and the rest
of the province.

Model of the Philander Barnes house
(formerly on the NE corner of Dewitt Road and Highway #8) built by volunteer
Pete Wobschall.
The railway shipped fruit and carried passengers from the Township to
Hamilton and towards Niagara, linking up with the main railways of the day; the
Great Western, and the Toronto, Hamilton, and Buffalo Railway; the line also
connected to the Hamilton Street Railway system.
The Erland Lee model primarily focuses on Highway #8 from Fifty Road to
Dewitt Road, and King Street from Parkdale Avenue to Gray's Road.
The models are built from historical photos
in the Erland Lee Museum's local history collection. The museum maintains a database of historical photos, some of
which can be found online as part of the Virtual
Museum of Canada.
