On Tuesday, May 23, at 7 p.m., at the Library, the Canastota Canal Town Museum and Canastota Public Library will host the third Canalside Talk celebrating the start of the Erie Canal entitled “An Erie Canal Boat Captain.”
From its inception, the Erie Canal helped form a whole new culture revolving around canal life. For many, canal boats became floating houses, traveling from town to town. Come and share stories and adventures of the “Old Erie Canal” with Michele Henry acting as a canal boat captain.
