As the webmaster, I am asking all interested visitors to seriously consider sharing copies of stories, letters, documents, and rare family photos, etc., that pertain to life on, or near, the canal. It will be an honor and a pleasure to upload your personal historical canal information for you; including proper credits and links back to your websites. To get a better sense of what my goal is, please stop by to see what I have on the website so far. Be sure to click on the links in the navigation bar and also to view the photos in the gallery. If you know anyone who might be interested in sharing their personal Erie Canal history, please tell them to contact me? Thank you! Sincerely, Cliff Williams Email- [email protected]
