Why is there a canal here? Who worked on canals? Did canal moms really tie their toddlers to the boat?All these questions and more will be answered during 30-minute talks aboard our canal boat, the Josiah White II at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00pm. While we’re not yet ready to take visitors for canal boat rides, a member of the canal boat crew will use the backdrop of the boat to take you back to a time when families lived and worked aboard canal boats plying the waters of the Lehigh Canal.

The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor is more than trails and landmarks—it’s a living landscape where history, culture, and community come together.
These treasures can’t protect themselves. As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, your year-end gift will help us safeguard this remarkable region and create new opportunities for connection and discovery.
