If you’re a Canadian native you may already know of the brave journey go Laura Secord, but many of us are unaware of the courageous path she traveled. . .
During the War of 1812, Laura Secord traveled a 32 kilometre journey in order to warn the British of a planned American attack. Her home was invaded by American soldiers and was no longer her after 1835.
The home is located at Queenston Heights Park and is just a walk away from the Niagara River Recreation Trail. Stopping by to take a guided tour of this historical home would put the perfect touches to any old walk on the Trail.
