Sunday, April 3 • 4 p.m.

Join us for “Delaware Canal 101” – why it was dug, what it was like when mule-drawn boats laden with coal traveled its waters, how Mother Nature and “progress” have wreaked havod, and why it is still exists. 

Susan Taylor, the former Executive Director of the Friends of the Delaware Canal, will share a Zoom program, illustrated with photos old and new, that will fill you in on what the Delaware Canal is all about.
