Created to honor the courage of American slaves who crossed the Canadian border in search of a new life, the Freedom Crossing Monument sits right on the bank of the Niagara River, and it's one of the most iconic landmarks in Lewiston. Made entirely of bronze, the monument depicts five people, including a family of freedom seekers about to cross the river. An educational plaque provides more information about the story of the monument and this period in history, and the site also offers several picnic tables where visitors can sit to admire the beautiful view of the river.
