Today in 1901, Ann Edson Taylor of the United States risked life and limb to pay her mortgage (does this sound familiar in 2009?). She put herself into a padded barrel and thrust herself over the Niagara Falls. This is one of the many stories that make-up the legends and lures of Niagara Falls.
At this point in history, it is illegal to try to earn money risking your life with imaginative hijinks's on Niagara Falls, but it is a spectacular and awe-inspiring place to visit and imagine what drove such risk-takers as Ann to plunge down the world's most famous waterfall.
A day of recess at Niagara (or any waterfall) is sure to entail a wonderful hike and a serene splash of relaxation. Add a picnic to the mix and you're got a great outing for yourself or the family.
