The Erie
Extension Canal was the major means of travel from Pittsburgh to the Great Lakes from
1854-1871. This canal system was vital to the iron industry in western Pennsylvania before
the introduction of the railroads. |
|
Inside the Canal
Museum, visitors will find various artifacts and
historical information from the canal era, including a
replica of the Rufus S. Reed -- a typical canal boat. |
|
Greenville's Canal Museum preserves some
of the history of the Erie Extension Canal. Visitor's to
the area will find it on Allan Avenue (the site of Lock
No. 22). |
