Join us on Friday May 15 at 6:00pm for an eye-opening program on the Erie Canal's transformative impact on Upstate New York.

The Erie Canal revolutionized Upstate New York, bringing new ideas, people, and industries to the region, sparking a firestorm of change. This presentation will cover how the fight for women’s rights grew out of the changes brought about by the Erie Canal and the movement’s dependence on networks that the Canal facilitated.  Presented by Steph Adams from the Erie Canal Museum.
