Erie Canal

Erie Canal

As you travel through the Central-Leatherstocking Region you find yourself travelling beside—or maybe even on—the Erie Canal, the impossible engineering project that united the waters of the Atlantic Ocean with the Great Lakes.  This is sports Hall of Fame country;  Cooperstown is a synonymous with baseball, Oneonta’s Soccer Hall of Fame pays homage to the sport’s growing popularity in the U.S., and Canastota continues its tributes to pugilists in the international Boxing Hall of Fame.
