🌊📖 Step back in time with the Erie Canal!

Did you know this incredible waterway, completed in 1825, helped shape New York into the "Empire State"? By connecting Lake Erie to the Hudson River, it revolutionized trade, powered westward expansion, and turned New York City into a booming port. It also played a vital role in fostering connections between communities, laying the groundwork for a thriving economy.

Come explore the rich history and marvel at the engineering wonders that made waves across the nation. Hop aboard Sam Patch or Riverie to experience this piece of history firsthand!
