Note from Niagara Falls State Park - 

“People have been heretofore influenced by two motives to wish to see Niagara, one is that they may be astonished…………and it may be safely assumed that no improvement that the State can make will increase the astonishing qualities of Niagara.  The other motive with which people come to the place is that of the enjoyment to be obtained through the pensive contemplation of distinctive qualities of beauty in happily associated passages of natural scenery.  It is in this respect that Niagara deserves to rank among the great treasures of the world.”
      -Frederick Law Olmsted

As the designer of the nation’s oldest state park, landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted knew that millions would come to see Niagara Falls and be transformed. 2010 is the year for you to be astonished as Niagara Falls State Park turns 125 year old!

Established on July 15, 1885, Niagara Falls State Park is the model from which all other state parks were created. This year, experience the history and power of this magnificent park and find out for yourself why millions of visitors are drawn to it each year.

Special events are being planned to commemorate this special occasion. Check www.niagarafallsstatepark.com for details as they become available.
