Join us for a presentation about the history of the OHIO-ERIE CANAL, presented by an Interpretive Park Ranger with the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. This canal system was a 19th century engineering marvel that transformed the state into a commercial powerhouse. The Ohio-Erie Canal connected Lake Erie to the Ohio River, linking Ohio to global markets via the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. Hand-dug, the canal included many features the laid the groundwork for Ohio’s economic and population growth. Additionally, photos and artifacts from our museum collection will be on display at Historic Hall.
