Eastern Erie Canal

21 December 2016

The Eastern section of the Erie combines the rivers, lakes and man-made sections of the Canal.  Starting in Waterford the Canal climbs more than 160’ in less than 2 miles. The greatest rate of climb of any navigable waterway in the world. Your trip continues on the navigable section of the Mohawk River as you pass communities such as Amsterdam, and the smaller villages of Little Falls, and Illion.  The Canal continues west as it passes through Utica, Rome and onto Sylvan Beach.  On the eastern shore of Oneida Lake, Sylvan Beach will remind you of a sea-side town complete with amusement park and sandy beach.  You cross Oneida Lake, and into the Oneida River past the intersection with the Oswego Canal and then the junction with Onondaga Lake and into Syracuse.  The original canal went through the city of Syracuse, but when the use of motorized vessels came into play the modern-day Canal took the route of rivers and lakes and by-passed Syracuse.  The Canal continues west through the bedroom community of Baldwinsville and on to the intersection of the Cayuga / Seneca and points west.

A trip along the Eastern Section of the Canal will offer you the opportunity to visit historical sites such as Fort Stanwix a reproduction of the Revolutionary War fort.  Construction of the Erie Canal began on July 4th. of 1817 in Rome as well where the ceremonial first shovel of dirt was removed.

Tugboat Roundup Waterford NY

26 August 2017
Categories: Bicentennial, Eastern Erie Canal

One of the great events of the season is once again scheduled for the weekend of Sept. 8th – 10th. Held each year the weekend after Labor Day. The Tugboat Roundup is one of the premier events on the Erie Canal each year.

2017 begins the bi-centennial celebration of the ground-breaking for the Erie Canal. With events taking place throughout the communities within the Canal Corridor, the Tugboat roundup is proud to be part of and illustrate the history of the Erie as a family oriented festival along the “Waterford Wall” at the eastern gateway to the Erie Canal.

As the name suggests, it’s all about the Boats, and Tugboats are the modern-day work horses on the Canal.

Tugboats will face-off on Saturday and Sunday competing with raw strength and piloting skills. Deckhands will toss heavy lines and “show you how it’s done”

There will be clown’s and face-painters, puppet shows, take a pony ride or jump in the bounce house. Tour boat rides on the Hudson and through the locks. Saturday ends with a great firework show over the harbour.

For one weekend each year, Waterford’s historic waterfront is transformed back into a rendering of its commercial heyday during which names like Godfrey, Coyne, Bushey Matton, Kehoe and Cowles figured so prominently along the waterfront. Tugs new and old moor stem to stern for adulation and education, enchanting the young and reminding the young at heart of days gone by.

The Tugboat Roundup is produced annually by the Town of Waterford and supported by many generous corporate sponsors. The event has grown steadily and attracts thousands of people to this sleepy canal town in the heart of upstate New York’s Capital Region.

2017 Tugboat Roundup Schedule

Throughout the Weekend, Visit Food and Craft Vendors, Souvenir stands and shore-displays.  Look for the Farmer’s Market at Lock 2.  Many of the Tugs will be open for walk-through tours, too.

All events are free, although boat rides do have a nominal charge.  Boat tickets are available at their docks.

Note that not all times are specific – mini-tugs may be going out anytime.  Push-off’s and nose to nose competitions are an involved project and are solely based on the decisions of captains, crews and other issues. 

You can expect a great, fun-filled family weekend with great people, a terrific collection of vendors, artists, displays, exhibits and really cool tugboats.  Spectacular fireworks on Saturday night!  What do you need to bring?  A camera, your family and good weather.

Categories: Uncategorized

 

Seneca Falls NY finds itself at the crossroads of the Finger Lakes region. Located between Seneca and Cayuga lakes, Seneca Falls also finds itself at the crossroads of History. The Women’s Rights movement was founded in Seneca Falls in 1948, that world changing event is celebrated every day at the Women’s Rights National Historical Park. The Wesleyan chapel the scene of that first convention has been restored and visitors to the Historical Park can learn about those events every day.

Seneca Falls also finds itself as the home of the Women’s Hall of Fame, the new headquarters for that venue will be open in 2018 in the restored Seneca Knitting Mills building located directly on the Erie Canal.

The Seneca Falls Heritage Area interprets the village’s development and role in the Reform Movements of the 19th. century. The area features a classic main street, a well-appointed harbor on The Cayuga-Seneca Canal, as well as many historic homes and architecturally interesting neighborhoods. The Heritage Area’s visitor center serves as an orientation point for local and regional history, providing an historical overview and information on various area attractions.

The Seneca Museum of Waterways & Industry is located at 89 Fall Street in the middle of historic downtown Seneca Falls and serves as a point of interest for local and regional history. The Museum provides a historical overview illustrating how the Seneca River and the Cayuga-Seneca Canal powered the rise of industry and fostered cultural development.

History continues at the Historical Society Museum located at 55 Cayuga Street in Seneca Falls in a home with long and varied history. The original structure was built in 1823 as a one room wooden house. Edward Mynderse son of the early land developer Colonel Wilhelmus Mynderse erected a two-story brick structure around 1855 on the site. The Historical Society bought the building in 1961 and the house you see today has undergone no major changes since the 1880’s

Frank J. Ludovico Sculpture Trail lies along the south side of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal leading west along the Canal from the village. The Trail’s Visitors and Arts Center is located at 61 Ovid Street, Route 414 in Seneca Falls.

Seneca Falls is also rumored to have been the inspiration for Frank Capra’s Classic movie it’s a wonderful life. Frank Capra was thought to have spent time in Seneca Falls prior to the production of the movie, a visitor to the town can identify many venues similar to those in the movie. Seneca Falls celebrates the movie with a celebration during early December each year. The It’s a Wonderful Life Museum is in downtown Seneca Falls, for more information visit their web site at www.therealbedrordfalls.com

One of the most photographed venues in Seneca Falls is the Trinity Episcopal Church. Built in 1885 in the Anglo-Gothic style. It is famous for its rising tower and stained glass some of which were made by the Louis Tiffany Studios. The Church is located at 27 Fall Street along the western end of Van Cleef Lake.

The Elizabeth Cady Stanton House, home of the women’s rights leader, is open for guided tours by the National Service Rangers.

The Erie Canal And The Birth Of American Religion

6 December 2017
Categories: Uncategorized

 

 SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16 at 1:00 PM

THE ERIE CANAL AND THE BIRTH OF AMERICAN RELIGION

Brent Rodriguez-Plate explores the religious life established by the Erie Canal, and the ways it influenced religiosity across the continent, and across the globe. Within 25 years of its opening, the Erie Canal cultivated extraordinary experimental spiritual groups including the Mormons, the Adventists, Spiritualism, a revived Apocalypticism, utopian communal societies such as the Oneida Community, with the Amana Colony and Shakers passing through, as well as the emotion-laden revivals of the Second Great Awakening. The Canal also engendered the religiously infused social movements of abolition, women’s suffrage, and temperance. And because of its key location and function as the link between East and West, the repercussions of canal-formed spiritual experiments rippled across the continent with westward expansion, creating unique currents of religion in the United States into the present day.

Brent Rodriguez-Plate’s teachings and writings explore relations between sensual life and spiritual life. He is a writer, editor, public speaker, and visiting associate professor of religious studies at Hamilton College. He has authored or edited fifteen books, and his writing has appeared in The Washington Post, The Christian Century, The Islamic Monthly, America, Los Angeles Review of Books, Religion Dispatches, and other places.

This program takes place in the center’s main gallery on Saturday, December 16 starting at 1:00 PM.

The Oneida County History Center, formerly the Oneida County Historical Society, is a private 501(c) (3) not-for-profit educational institution and is dedicated to preserving history and promoting the culture of the Greater Mohawk Valley. Admission to this program is free for the general public; donations are encouraged. Please contact the center at 315-735-3642 or visit the OCHC website (www.oneidacountyhistory.org) or Facebook.com page for additional information.

Create A New Canal NY Website

30 January 2018
Categories: Canal NY

If you’re looking for a way to provide additional support for Canal NY consider a contribution towards the development of a new Canal NY web site.

The current www.canalny.com web site continues to function but the platform it is based on has become outdated and the ability to post information and update the site continues to grow more difficult.

While a simple web site that would contain all the necessary information about Canal NY, it’s mission, and its membership could be built for as little as $2,000, what Canal NY’s real need is to create a web site that includes a membership management system.

This would give Canal NY the tools necessary to manage & grow its membership. A web site that offers Canal NY the ability to simplify its dues collection, allow for prospective members to register and pay online as well as re-new their membership each year will provide greater opportunities for growth as well as providing increased revenue throughout the year.  The budget to complete the overall project is $7,500.00.

To obtain a detailed proposal on this project please contact Bill Drage @ [email protected] or 607 467-4462
