Kids on the Canal – Immersion Day

May is Immersion Day month at the museum where school groups come daily to experience what life was like in the 1900s. This program is so popular we decided to open it up to the public for 1 day for those whose schools do not take part in the program. Come tour the lock tender house, meet the mules and learn about their care, try your hand out at old-fashioned laundry, learn about the rocks in our region, come to understand friction and buoyancy. Do you think you can pull our canal boat? While you are here rent a kayak or canoe and take a stroll along our towpath.
