Post by Michael M »

This event is a great opportunity to experience and share about the canal that transformed America, as clubs and individuals across New York State join together over the airwaves to activate the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor.

There is a lot of history there. At one time the tariff on goods the canal carried represented almost %50 of tax revenue for NY State and shortened the transit time from months to weeks. I lived in Lockport where the "flight of five' locks got canal traffic up 80 foot Niagara escarpment.
