Nikola Tesla memorial

The bronze monument features Tesla standing with a cane on top of an AC motor, representing his scientific achievements in electrical engineering.

Yugoslavia presented this memorial to the United States in 1976, created by sculptor Frane Krsinic near the location of the first hydroelectric power plant.

This monument stands as a recognition of Tesla's role in developing alternating current systems that transformed electrical power distribution across North America.

Visitors can reach the memorial by following the walking paths through Goat Island, which provides direct views of the Niagara Falls.

The memorial sits near the exact location where Tesla and Westinghouse constructed their revolutionary hydroelectric power station in 1895.
