Program: The Story Of Ohio’s Canals: An Engineering Endeavor That Can Still Be Traced In Ohio’s Landscape

Program Description: Beginning in 1825, Ohio began constructing its canal system that eventually included nearly a thousand miles of channel and towpaths laced with stone locks and culverts, aqueducts, feeder lakes and slack water ponds. These canals opened up Ohio to world commerce allowing the export of surplus grains and manufactured goods and the import of items made in New York, London and Paris. Ohio’s canals linked the Great Lakes with the Ohio River and Ohio towns with markets in Chicago, Buffalo, and New York City and Pittsburg, St, Louis and New Orleans. Canal builders negotiated Ohio’s diverse landscape as they traversed glacial moraines and the Allegheny Plateau. The ‘big ditch’ stitched the settlements of Ohio’s wilderness together and helped make it a player on the world’s stage. 

Presented by Tom O’Grady, current professor of Astronomy at Ohio University and lifetime Ohio history student and guru on many subjects throughout our Buckeye State.
