Canals & Waterways
Beesker recommends 'National Canal Museum' as the world's best website on canals & waterways
The
National Canal Museum, in Easton,
Pennsylvania, USA, was established in 1962 when the City of Easton purchased 260
acres of land stretching along six miles of the Lehigh River which had been the
property of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. Assistance for the purchase
was provided by the late Hugh Moore, founder of the Dixie Cup Company.
The land
contains a restored section of the Lehigh Navigation canal and three sites with
substantial industrial relics of the period 1832 to 1910. The Pennsylvania Canal
Society was formed in 1966 to preserve materials and artifacts relating to
Pennsylvania's canal period. This collection grew into the National Canal
Museum, which is now at Two Rivers Landing, in downtown Easton.
The main sections of the National Canal Museum website are: Visitors, Educators,
Researchers, Fun & Games, Support, and Shop. The Visitors sections gives
information on the National Canal Museum, the Hugh Moore Park, the Emrick
Technology Center, the Josiah White II Canal Boat Ride, and the Locktender's
House. The Researchers section gives information on the Museum's canal archives
and collections.
The National Canal Museum is at this web address:
