Welcome to Stage two of the Laura Secord Legacy Trail. Stage two runs between the north parking lot of Fireman's Park and Niagara College, for a distance of about 6 and a half kilometres, or approximately one and a quarter hours, for the average walker.
Stage Two begins at the Railway signal control box, immediately south of the railway crossing on Dorchester Road here in Niagara Falls. The trail heads into the woods, immediately alongside the signal control box. Watch for the Trail markers.
Along the trail I'll introduce you to some other women who lived in Laura Secord's time, and who, like Laura, stepped out of their traditional roles, showing bravery, courage and determination…. but whose stories have rarely been told.
So for the next 6 1/2 kilometres, just be sure to follow the trail markers, as you hear about these great gals.
