Step aboard replica Erie Canal boat to celebrate 200th anniversary of historic voyage this weekend

The free family-friendly Bicentennial Voyage celebrates the historic 1825 journey on the Erie Canal from Buffalo to New York Harbor by Governor DeWitt Clinton. The event brings history to life when the "living museum" docks. Guests are encouraged to come aboard to explore recreated cabins, view historical artifacts, and engage with interactive exhibits that "illuminate" the Erie Canal's cultural, economic and environmental significance.
