"The Chenango Canal 1837-1878:
A Walking Tour in the City of Norwich"
If you have any interest in the role played in Upstate New York history by canals, newly minted Chenango County Historian Patrica Evans will be speaking to you this Thursday, April 17th at 7 PM at the Chenango County Historical Society Museum, 45 Rexford Street in Norwich. A brief business meeting and refreshment interlude will preceed the talk.
"The Chenango Canal 1837-1878: A Walking Tour in the City of Norwich" will take you on a virtual journey through space and time from the aquaduct that lead the canal into Norwich over Canasawacta Creek on the very south side of town, through the corridors of today's Eaton Center where a piano factory once stood in the heyday of the canal, and end with the warehouses, factories, and farms that used to line the canal on the north.
Ms. Evans' powerpoint presentation will be rich in graphic materials including pictures of many of the structures associated with the canal and a variety of maps to orient you.
At the end of the presentation you will be able to pick up your very own copy of a pamphlet on the canal walking tour prepared in 2005 by then Chenango County Historian (now retired), Dale C. Storms. Her work was made possible by grants from the Chenango County Healthy Heart Coalition and the Greater Norwich Foundation.
For more information, please contact Diane Hamblin at the Museum, 334-9227. The CCHS Museum is located at 45 Rexford Street, Norwich.
