The magnificent Maitland Tower is located on the north bank of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Great lakes. It was used as a wind driven grist mill, owned and operated by George Longley of Maitland. While the tower was built by Longley in 1827/28, there are claims that the structure dates from much earlier.
For more information of the claimed Pre-Columbian history of the historic Maitland Tower see here.
