Hear how the Erie canal got started---it all came together from a jail cell! And then meet two rabble-rouser cousins, Kate Kendall, a city girl from Albany going to visit her grandparents in Pittsford, by way of the Erie Canal. Aboard the boat she meets her cousin, Skeeter! "Don't you know nothin' about being a Canawler?" Learn all about life on a cargo boat in the year 1830. VIEW A SCALE MODEL OF A REAL CANAL HOUSEBOAT! This thing is 5 feet long!! Also, see the cabin where Kate meets her grandparents in Douglas Corners (Walworth)!
We guarantee you will see and learn all kinds of FUN, fascinating things about THE ERIE CANAL and the lives of those who traveled it. There's even a real canal ghost story to finish up our time together! This program is great fun for both boys and girls (and adults!). Registration is required.
