I wish there was more to this place, but it is cool to see.
The most beautiful useless historic chimney I have ever seen at a roadside pull off. The almost helpful plaque of its history is conveniently facing the chimney so you can sit quietly and contemplate your life choices and how you ended up here at this chimney. Will definitely come every time I am up here now, for the lulz.
Super cool to see preserved history with regard to upstate New York that generations of Americans have worked to save and conserve. Not an awe inspiring visit, more in line with appreciation of the above and what challenges our ancestors faced in that region hundreds of years ago
This chimney has survived another move and has been placed next to the scenic Niagara River. It is still a part of Niagara Falls history and I hope they will continue to preserve it for the hundreds of tourists from around the world who come to see it.
Chimneys are my life. I am very appreciative to Niagara for allowing my tired knees to rest on the benches so kindly placed in front of the chimney. My old knees are strained from my various trips from staring at chimneys day to day. Not going to lie, I shed some tears at its beauty, it is hard to find such beautiful chimneys with such a great history. A special thanks to the French for burning down the rest of the house so we can appreciate the absolute stunning nature of the chimney.
Another great piece of Niagara Falls, New Yorks history, and the great lengths developers are going to to preserve it and make the city as great as it once was.If you havent been, Niagara Falls is an amazing City to visit, or live work and play.
Want to get amazing views and good photos while on travel then this is the right spot. A small quick stop will do the needful.
Interesting to read the story of the Old stone chimney and how many times it was taken down, relocated or rebuilt again. A nice bonus stop while in Niagara falls area
Interesting history. Lovely veiw. Nice place to stop
Very cool piece of old history
As the name implies, this is a stone chimney dating back to 1750 that was originally part of a French fort. That Fort was burnt by the French to keep it out of the hands of the British. The chimney survived. It was then used by the British for their fort. That Fort also burnt. The chimney again survived. It is now part of a historic site on the Upper Niagara River that is beautiful to visit.
You really need to visit this place when there is no snow. Other than that, its a remarkable piece of history.
Cool historical spot with amazing biking and walking trails leading all the way from the falls up the Niagara river!
We had good time walking along the Niagara River while on our honeymoon. We will be back
Beautiful place
It is a Chimney. Not worth stopping for
Its a chimney. Needs more attractions. But its cool
Great historical site near Niagara Falls. Two geocaches nearby too.
It is a small little piece of history. Surrounded by a nice walkpath by the water.
Wondered what the heck this was on my way to Niagara Falls so I had to stop and see. Very interesting history!
Not much here. Just an old chimney at a big open space they could use for so much more🙄
ITs a cool chimney thats been moved 4 times, which defeats the originality
Great view and a great stroll along the path
Really cool sight with an interesting story
Its an old chimney. Made of stone. Thats all Ive got. Im not sure its a must see but I saw it anyway.
I loved it. Even better the second time around
Strange attraction. 1st time Ive stopped to gaze at a stone chimney
Like chimneys and cannons? Stop here and gaze upon the chimney in all its historic stone glory.
For the amount of times its been moved over the years they ought to put wheels on it
Nice location. Not much 2 see.
Reminder of History...
Stop by and look at it great piece of history
Neat piece of local history
Not sure what I expected but its just an old dusty chimney.
Very unpleasant aroma trash everywhere
Love visiting historical landmarks
It wasnt originally there, they transplanted it from somewhere else.
Interesting stop on the way out of Niagara.
Nice place to send a text message.

2022-04-30Amazing how they built back than, should have been entire home see what was like guess chimney will do, nice river view blanketed with trees, especially weeping willows one of my all time favorite give me relaxing sensation whenever come to see one...Plus, sound of birds chirping give for an overall quality brake before head back on road...well worth trip to Niagara Falls, be sure download app scan your information before crossing border....

2022-06-04Yep…. It’s a chimney. It’s a historic chimney with a plaque on it but it’s still a chimney in the middle of nowhere. I’ve driven by it my entire life going Saying to myself- “Self, you should stop there and see what it’s all about”. When I finally did, I realized I never have to stop there again because I’ve seen all there is to see.

2021-06-07It was very nice to see something last so long. I took a few pictures of what it was. When it was built and its been standing there since the 1700s. Thats incredible.

2020-09-10It is an historic oddity - been moved a few times... But the view of the river here is good and it is a great place to access the bike path to run, ride or walk from up to the intakes or all the way down along the new pathway to the rapids and even the falls if you are looking for a longer distance

2019-09-29Its been rebuilt and moved like 45 times. Its hardly the old chimney. I have shoes older than the concrete holding this together. Its a tourist landmark. Nothing else.

2020-09-22The Niagara Falls area is filled with tons of historic markers. This place is one of the. It is right on the bike trail, so it is easy to explore.

2018-10-15My curiosity got the best of me when I was driving to Niagara Falls and saw this along the river. On the way back the next day, after the NF Marathon, I decided to stop by and see what the chimney was all about.What I learned was this was an impressive piece of local history and more information can be found online or on the information boards by the chimney. Being it was an easy stop off the parkway, it also is a nice place to stop for a break and stretch the legs a bit and enjoy the view of the Niagara River. What you will also learn from my photo is to not shoot into the sun.
