Ontario Hydro Memorial and the Haulage Road Recreation Trail Plaque reads: “From the 1890s to the 1950s a number of generating stations were constructed along the Ontario side of the Niagara River. As a result, the area around Niagara Falls and Queenston became the principal source of hydroelectricity in the province. This plaque commemorates the thousands of individuals whose skill and labour built these power plants. It is located along what became known as the Haulage Road, which was used during the early 1950s to transport excavated material from the Sir Adam Beck No. 2 construction site to several locations in the north end of Niagara Falls. Committee: Hon Rob Nicholson, Chairman, Clyde Carruthers, Rosemarie Carruthers, John Compostella, Shirley Fisher, Jack Holman, Adele Kon City Staff, Ron Lowe, Jim Mitchinson, Kerry Murphy, Steve Szolga, Alderman Selina Volpatti, Sherman Zavitz.

Rock of Ages, American Falls, Niagara Falls Coloured sketch of the Rock of Ages and the American Falls from below. Under the Falls is a place called Cave of the Winds, formed by thirty feet of projecting limestone that has resisted the action of the corroding waters while the shady substratum directly under the ledge has been eaten away. The so-called cave is one hundred feet in height and sixty feet in depth and can be reached by a perpendicular winding stairway from Goat Island. The cave derives its name from the constant pressure of the atmosphere caused by the reflex of the falling water which resembles a storm of great violence. -
