Erie Canal Museum

Housed in the only remaining canal weighlock building in the United States, the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse collects and preserves Canal material and provides educational experiences that champion the Erie Canal's effects on the past, present, and future. The Museum is located on the route of the original Erie Canal, which transported goods, people, and ideas and shaped the development of Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo in New York as well as cities on the Great Lakes in the Midwest.
