Description
One of America's most important waterways, the Erie Canal, is remembered through interactive displays at The Erie Canal Museum, a facility in Syracuse housed in a historic weighlock building that aims to educate visitors on canal life. Enjoy multi-media exhibits that help recreate a slice of area history, from mid-19th-century tavern to general store, weighmaster's office to a full-size Erie Canal line boat. Young visitors can hone math and science skills in the Computer Kiosk solving canal construction problems and canal boat weigh-ins. Catch an orienting slide show in the Heritage Area Theater or sign up for a guided tour to make the most of your museum visit.
