Museums

"Perhaps no other 19th century event contributed more to the growth and

our country.
The primary mission of the Erie Canal Museum is to keep Erie Canal history alive by educating the public about this rich heritage we all share. We do this with a gallery full of participatory exhibits that involve visitors in canal life and an extensive collection of Canal era artifacts that inform and educate. Our school programs and curriculums reach over 10,000 students annually."
