Wine and Walk: Canal Days 200th Birthday

It’s the 200th birthday of the Erie Canal, and we’re celebrating! With the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825, New York truly became the “Empire State.” Once a sleepy farming town with an important harbor, Schenectady experienced a dramatic transformation of its own during the canal era. Would the canal be a blessing, a blight, or perhaps both?

After the tour, stick around for a complimentary glass of wine at the SCHS Museum.

This tour meets and concludes at SCHS, 32 Washington Ave, Schenectady. All ticket sales are final.
