The Erie Canal, begun in 1817, was a triumph of early engineering in the United States and one of the most ambitious construction projects of nineteenth-century America. It was longer by far than any other canal previously built in Europe or America, crossing rivers and valleys, cutting through deep rock, and passing through marshes and forests in its 363-mile course across New York State.

What I will do is post blogs as we progress through the canal.  You can look at the various websites if you wish to get professional pictures and write-ups on the places I am visiting.  They can do so much better than I can.  Enjoy!!!
