The 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.

It 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

My 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.

Its 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.

You really need to visit this place when there is no snow. Other than that, its a remarkable piece of history.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
