Freedom Park is located along the Niagara River and is regarded as a major terminus of slave crossing into Canada. The annual re-enactment of the crossing has been hosted at Freedom Park for many years. The site is also known as a destination along the Freedom Trail, which follows the path of the Underground Railroad. Recognition of this historic site was envisioned to include a location for public gatherings and an inspiring commemorative sculpture. The historic and symbolic significance of Freedom Park is unquestionably important. The addition of a powerful figurative bronze sculpture will memorialize slavery’s ultimate abolition in North America and Fort Erie’s role as a haven to those who endured and won the struggle for freedom. This symmetrical park has a plaque in the center surrounded by sweet gum trees and there used to be a large vertical rock at the center of the backdrop before you attention gets sucked into the Niagara River which people actually swam over to get to Canada.
This micro is a small zip lock bag covered in duct tape. It only contains a logbook and a couple extra bags. Be careful as there are plenty of minks in the area.
