Queenston Heights is an extensive hillside area on
the Niagara escarpment, centred on a heavily wooded, landscaped park
which includes an elegant 57.9 metres (190 foot), classical column
containing Sir Isaac Brock's grave. The park marks the site of the
Battle of Queenston Heights in the War of 1812. Step back in time at
Queenston Heights in Niagara. Tour the battlefield grounds, visit the
small museum highlighting the early life of Major General Sir Isaac
Brock, climb the steps to the top of Brock's Monument and enjoy a view
of the Niagara Frontier.
