Larger than life, this Monument to General Brock is set in the middle of beautiful Queenstown Heights Park. Staff dressed in period costumes greet you at the entrance. You can climb to the top if you dare! We'll worth a visit.

We went to see the Laura Secord Homestead We will learn a lot of Laura Secord Homestead. Her husband was injured. When she heard that the Americans were going to fight in our country, Laura went early in the morning that the Americans were going to attack Canada. Laura saved Canada. The soldiers were there thanks to Secord.
