The National Canal Museum welcomes teachers and students to investigate the transportation and industrial revolutions that changed this region, and the country.  

     At the Museum, teachers and students have an opportunity to learn about canals and industrial technology in a fun and interactive way.  Exhibits at the museum are designed to integrate history and education, while offering our visitors a fun experience.
