Big city Buffalo is second in size state-wide only to New York City, but holds its own in terms of cultural attractions, proximity to national landmarks like Niagara Falls and the easy access it proffers to grand parks.
Situated within Queenston Heights Park about ten kilometers (six miles) north of the Falls, this monument serves as a tribute to Major-General Isaac Brock, the British commander who lost his life here defending the area during the War of 1812. Fifty-six meters (183 feet) high, the impressive monument was built in 1856 and replaces an earlier one blown up by a massive gunpowder blast in 1840. The park itself, maintained by the Niagara Parks Commission, features the beginning of the Bruce Trail as well as the Queenston Heights Restaurant.
