Never thought the Niagara Falls were frozen almost one hundred years ago.


This person's mother had a cousin living in Niagara Falls that year. She told the family that she and her neighbours woke up in the night feeling something was wrong. It took a while but they finally realized that it was the lack of noise.

They had all become so used to the roar of the falls that the silence was unusual enough to alert their senses. Of course at that time nearly all the houses were near the falls.


Amazing pictures !!! Almost 100 years old.
Can you imagine walking on Niagara falls ???


1911 Photos of Niagara Falls ...






Well the second photo do not seems like a 100years ago but an analysis say it is may be in 1886. The others three looks real. The third photo was sure authentic it is from 1875 - Howard T. Pammett collection.

Upon detail researching no detail record that such an event in 1911. But in March 1848, there is such an event as report in Buffalo Express Newspaper where Niagara falls was completely frozen.
