Local History Walking Tour- From Ditches to Riches: An Erie Canal Walking Tour In-Person
The Erie Canal not only fueled Rochester’s economic development, but it also helped diversify the local population as it spurred the settlement of immigrants and migrants with varying religious, social, and political viewpoints. The tour details the canal’s rise and decline and showcases the many ways in which the waterway transformed the Rochester community. Meet on the north side of the Rundel Memorial Building for this 1-mile-long tour.
*In case of inclement weather, tour may be canceled
Registration is strongly recommended but not required.
