The Silhouette Tour is a tour like no other. Explore the I&M Canal through its people. Working with artist and iron worker Marsha Lega, we've developed rustic, life-size, Cor-Ten steel silhouettes based on real historical figures. Placed throughout our National Heritage Area, these silhouettes tell their stories and the lasting impact they have had. Below you can find their location and discover their history–though it's even better in person. Learn more through this link!

Relive the fateful turning point in our history that led to a new era of transportation and the growth of our region by taking a trip on The Volunteer, our Canal Boat. This vessel is not only a replica of those from the 1840s. It also runs on the same energy source: mule power!
Your journey includes: a “Mule Tending 101” class in which you’ll meet Moe the Mule, interact with crew of period dressed guides, hear tales of the canal’s heyday and enjoy an approximately 75 minute leisurely ride on a replica packet boat along the Illinois and Michigan Canal.
The boat will depart and return to the Lock 14 Parking Lot.
