The Erie Canal is America’s first superhighway, over 364 miles long. It was built without steam power and through the Adirondack Mountains, up and down hills, massive boulders, and uprooting giant trees. How did they get all the water to the canal and keep it in? How did they make water run uphill? It was built with picks and shovels and muscle and blood, and an American dream.
Weird Downriver – Curiosities and Little Known Stories from Downriver with Jakki Malnar
Whether you are new to local history or an old pro, this program will have something for you. Join us to learn about Slocum’s “Island”, Death by Tuna, Wyandotte’s own DB Cooper and much more. While the Speaker, Jakki Malnar, is in the building she requires everyone to be masked. In order for everyone to hear her properly, she will be unmasked during her presentation. If you can’t or won’t wear a mask, you will not be allowed to attend this presentation.
