363 miles that transformed America.
"Americans’ pockets hold digital devices delivering oceans of information and distractions. But another technology that dramatically shaped the nation’s life, and had revolutionary consequences abroad, was a ditch. Raise a glass as the 200th birthday of the Erie Canal is celebrated on Sunday."

This is it! The Erie Canal Bicentennial presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the canal that transformed America and to commemorate its influence on New York and the nation.
Fascinating. Primarily buit by hand.
