Very cool to learn about the very first wind turbine in North America. This thing is huge!! So many other interesting things in the area as well so you could spend an afternoon exploring the vicinity. It’s right by the water which offers a lovely view. Worth the visit.
North America's first urban wind turbine. Right on the beautiful banks of Lake Ontario. There are a number of very informative plaques all around the base of the turbine. Take a few minutes and learn about this eco friendly power project.
