Brocks Monument

Posted on by

Another historical marvel located in the Queenston Heights Park is Brocks Monument. Brock Monument is a historical monument built to honor Major-General Isaac Brock, who lead British troops into Upper Canada during the War of 1812. As American forces invade Queenston Heights, Major-General Brock lead his soldiers to battle, where they reclaimed Queenston Heights. Major-General Brock was injured during this trek, and was unable to return home. The original monument built for Brock was destroyed in 1840 and was rebuilt in 1853. Taking a stroll or a climb through Brocks Monument is sure to get your mind turning as you can see the history standing right before you. Fun for the whole family and history buffs alike!
