Low Bridge on the Erie Canal

October 23, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

The Saratoga County History Center will host John Scherer, Clifton Park Historian, for a program entitled “Low Bridge on the Erie Canal” on Monday, October 23 at 7pm in the Long Room at Brookside Museum.

When the Erie Canal was completed in 1825, it was an engineering marvel and was touted as the eighth wonder of the world. Thirteen miles of the canal was constructed along the southern Saratoga County border paralleling the Mohawk River.

John Scherer will highlight the history of the local section of the canal using historical photographs and explore the existing remains and the colorful local characters who worked on the canal.

This event is free to the public. Donations, given online or in person, are always welcome and gratefully accepted, and will be used to support the programs of Saratoga County History Center.
