We are headed to Syracuse to visit the Erie Canal Museum today.
This little lake and a pretty park are next to the road we are taking. We decide to stop and admire it all.
A little pier on the lake.
Here we are at the Erie Canal museum. This was once one of the Weight Houses that weighed the boats to determine the amount of the fee to be collected. The portion of the canal at this building is now filled in but the edges of the canal leading into the weigh area and the gates are still here. The glassed in area here was where the boats entered to be weighed.
A passenger boat like those used on the canal.
A portion of another boat the the gate that still remains here. the top
of the gate can be seen just above the gravel lining the canal space.
Office in the weigh building. Note the pressed tin walls. Pressed tin also covers the ceiling.
Syracuse City Hall.
Monument to the Civil War in Clinton Square.
