An Erie Canal Odyssey - The Photographs of Frank Forte

Saturday, February 1, 2025, from 1 PM to 4 PM at the Samuel Center for Canal History in Port Byron, NY

 

The Canal Society of New York State will launch the Erie Canal's 2025 Bicentennial celebration with a special preview of Frank Forte’s photography exhibit, showcasing communities, structures, boats, and activities along New York’s canal system. Forte, an award-winning photographer from Sackets Harbor, NY, will introduce the exhibit and discuss its significance during this milestone year. His work, supported by the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, documents New York's entire canal system.
