Orin Lehman Visitor Center (Niagara Falls, NY)

If you visit Niagara Falls, New York, be sure to check out Orin Lehman Visitor Centre, which has a set of terrific educational displays on the lower level. I was especially interested in the geological information.

When I was a girl, my Brownies troop (😊) took a field trip to Niagara Falls. I have a strong memory of standing behind a sheet of water, and I’ve never been able to figure out where exactly that was. The visitor center answered this question: it was at the Cave of the Winds in Niagara Falls State Park (NY), behind Bridal Veil Falls, on the American side!

This “Cave of the Winds” panel solved a long-standing mystery for me.

The exhibit on power generation is fascinating as well.
