Event Details

The Erie Canal: A Story of Building the Impossible. Storyteller and author Sandy Schuman will present on the saga and lasting legacy of the Erie Canal. Officially opened in 1825, this 363 mile-long canal traversing a mountain range allowed the Northeast and Midwest United States to affordably exchange goods for the first time, which catapulted the economies of both regions for generations to come.
