| dbo:abstract | Battle of the Windmill National Historic Site marks the site of the November 1838 Battle of the Windmill, fought around a grist windmill near Prescott, Ontario, Canada. In 1873, the original grist windmill was converted into a lighthouse by the Canadian Department of Marine. The lighthouse became known as Windmill Point Light. In 1996 the Friends of Windmill Point opened the 60-foot-tall stone lighthouse tower to the public as Battle of the Windmill National Historic Site, a National Historic Site of Canada. Visitors are led on a guided tour of the tower, and can climb to the top just below the lantern room for a view of the St. Lawrence River. There are interpretive panels about the battle, a video presentation, and a gift shop. The tower is open weekends in June and September, and daily in July and August, and is located on Windmill Point Road, off Highway 2, 3 km east of the town of Prescott, Ontario.

Le site commémore la bataille du Moulin-à-Vent de novembre 1838, bataille de la Rébellion du Haut-Canada qui a eu lieu autour d'un moulin à vent. En 1873, ce moulin est converti en phare par le ministère de la Marine. Il est alors connu sous le nom de phare de Windmill Point. Il est utilisé ensuite durant près d'un siècle. En 1996, les Amis de Windmill Point ouvre la tour de pierre de 18,2 mètres de hauteur au public comme lieu historique national. La visiste permet de grimper au sommet du phare jusqu'à la lanterne qui permet une vue sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent. (fr) |
