History | 7 Places Your Grandparents Loved to Vacation

Alongside its reputation for daredevil feats and shocking stunts throughout the 19th century, Niagara Falls also emerged as the "Honeymoon Capital of the World" around the same time.

In the early 1800s, famous figures like Napoleon Bonaparte's brother Jerome Bonaparte and American socialite Theodosia Burr, daughter of future Vice President Aaron Burr, celebrated their nuptials with a getaway to this (still highly popular) natural wonder. These high-profile honeymooners inspired others of the same social ilk, and while the destination initially remained exclusive to the wealthy, the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 helped make it more accessible for middle-class honeymooners, too. The popularity of Niagara Falls as a honeymoon destination endured for generations, but it began to dwindle with the dawn of the early 1960s jet age, when international air travel started to become a reality for the average American.
