Visit a windswept hill overlooking the St. Lawrence River, where a red-roofed stone windmill was the scene of a bloody turning point in Canadian history.
From the Battle of the Windmill National Historic Site grounds, gaze at the waves and imagine the boats of an invading force of American ‘Hunters’ sailing across the river to battle with British soldiers and local militia in the fight for Upper Canada.
