Visit this incredible monument, located in picturesque
Queenston Heights. Explore the historic battlefield where British and American
soldiers struggled for the destiny of two nations. Although this was a decisive
victory for the British, it had been won at great cost, the death of Major-General
Sir Isaac Brock. Brock's death became a unifying factor for many Upper
Canadians.
From the top of his 56-metre column, Major-General Sir Isaac Brock looks
out over the territory his troops defended. The builders of the monument made it
so impressive because the Battle of Queenston Heights and Brock himself
symbolized the continuation of their strong ties with Great Britain.
Climb the monument, or tour the battlefield with costumed staff and enjoy
a spectacular view of the Niagara Frontier.
