A paddle buddy and I visited the Battle of the Windmill National Historic Site in Prescott, Ontario on a cold, sunny, November morning.
Oddly enough, the Battle of the Windmill raged for several days in the middle of November in 1838. We visited the site by kayak, during the same month 174 years later.
It's intriguing to wander the grounds of the Battle of the Windmill. It made me take the time to stop and think. Wonder about who stood there before me. Learn about a battle that was fought here. Ponder the interconnected relationship between Canada and the United States, and the incredible history and waterways we share.
My next story is up on The Great Waterway, a cool Ontario Tourism website where I'm a regular blogger, if you'd like to check out this paddle in more detail:
