Of special note for this remarkable tour is our much appreciated guest, Bob Stopper, the legendary canal greeter of Wayne County! There is way too much to see in Wayne County but we'll do our best, leaving you with more to do if you extend your stay (check out the museums in Palmyra and Lyons!).
Yes, this is Easter weekend so we will be adjusting from our normal routine. Our dinner will be on Friday evening, not Saturday, at the American Legion in Newark. Joining us will be Mayor Jonathan Taylor of Newark who will be presenting the Village's waterfront (i.e. canal!) revitalization plans.

Wayne County has an especially rich canal history (understatement). Nine Enlarged Erie Canal Locks (#53-61) over twenty-one miles, a greater lift than the Lockport Flight. Except for the now gone Lock 57, we're going to try to see all of them. Detailed maps and schedules will be provided upon registration.

The Friday (April 3) events include a walking tour of canal sites in Newark, literally in the backyard of the Microtel Inn, starting at 10 AM. With special thanks to the Canal Corporation, we'll get a closeup look at the Barge Canal powerhouse at Lock 28B along with the extremely nearby Enlarged Erie Lock 59. The morning tour will continue by personal car to the Clinton's Ditch lock at Lockpit (Meadville) and to the three generations of Erie Canal at Barge Lock 25 (May's Point).

Friday lunch is on your own, hopefully allowing enough time to make it for the 2 PM tour of the Canal Corporation Lyons Section Shops and Drydock.

The Saturday (April 4) bus tour will leave the Microtel Inn at 8:30 AM, heading to canal sites in Palmyra, Macedon, and Clyde. We won't forget the Sodus Bay Canal! Lunch will be at the Stone 8 Taphouse in Clyde with a return to the Microtel by 4:30 PM.

The detailed itinerary of the April events will be provided upon registration. The itinerary is subject to change depending on the weather.

Choose some or ALL of the offerings for the 2-day tour!

What's not included:
Transportation on Friday &amp; hotel costs are additional.

We hope to see you there!
