Niagara Falls

I would like to go to Niagara Falls before I die because it seems pretty awesome. I think it'd be cool because I can see Canada since its right on the boarder between the United States and Canada. The Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side, has a drop of about 173 feet, and the American Falls drop 70-100 feet.
 In 1911 a man named Bobby Leach climbed into a metal barrel sort of thing and took himself over Niagara Falls and went all the way down it in his metal barrel. Another man, Jean Gravelet carried his manager Harry Colcord across Niagara Falls on a tightrope, many people that tried these stunts have died. But I would defiantly want to try one of these things because it just seems like a chill thing. 
I would also like to visit this landmark because it is one of the most visited places in America and it has a lot of history inside of it. A Rebel supply ship was burnt and sent over the falls in 1837 during the Caroline Affair. So its pretty historic
