These very old photos were brought into the Town Crier office by one of our subscribers.  The top one is a photo of Horseshoe Falls.   Also referred to as the Canadian Falls, it is the largest of the three falls that form Niagara Falls.  The second photo shows the American Falls and the ice mountains.  It’s interesting to see all the people walking under that frozen falls.   We welcome submissions for the “Peek at the Past” feature.  You can drop them off at our office or email them to thecrier@wightman.ca.  We’d love to share them with everyone!
