Dear Ila, While attending the Summer on Fourth Street festivities which I would encourage everyone to attend next July as it is wonderful, I got a wonderful huge map and other pictures of the 110 mile canal system. It gives individual pictures of with numbers that shows the location and a short discription of each place from the Ohio and Erie Canal Association 330=434-5657 WWW.ohioeriecanal.org It is on a water proof plastic and gives 43 locations. Map key and I think I only paid $15.00 for it. I can not say enough about this wonderful Ohio & Erie Canal map. Of course you know where it is in Canal Fulton and there is a wonderful walking and bike path and a horse trail in some parts which runs along side most of the way and it follows the Tusc river. There are parts of it that no longer exist. As it ends just before Lake Avenue N.E. and goes under Massillon and starts up again somewhere South of Massillon.. It extends from Lake Erie all the way Schoenbrunn on this map but goes clear to the Ohio River. Our genealogy group at the Massillon Public Library had a man come and speak to us about his venture finding all the lost locks and walking the entire length. He even went into an old building and found the canal walls still there. He was at our Genealogy Fair this summer we held. Maybe I can find out if the Ohio & Erie Canal Association will be represented again this year at the Summer on Fourth Street. Wagons drawn by horses and mules are there. People in period clothing which ranges from 1820 to 1930's are there. Once they had a civil war camp set up. A local funeral director has a horse drawn hearse there and he is dressed for the occation. Great food and lots of different groups have been represented. Dulcimer music, Sweet Adelines, Clinton Historical group and so many I can not even begin to tell you are there. It is the greatest. Our group hopes to be represented there again in 2006.

Donna, I am clearing some e-mails from my program, and I surely hope I remembered to write and thank you for this. A friend of mine and I are planning a trip following the canal this summer. We have already seen parts of it, but want to do the whole thing kind of like a travelogue for our kids and grandkids. Thanks again.
