The Nation’s first National Heritage Area is a living landscape and outdoor museum that flows through our own backyard! Ana Koval, president of the Canal Corridor Association, will show us how the canal (which is also celebrating its 175th Anniversary this year) was integral in populating our state and the importance of its preservation and conservation.
