While the Erie Canal was the most important canal in Upstate New York, the history behind other canals that ran through the Finger Lakes and their relationship to the Erie is fascinating. In this episode Seneca County Historian Walter Gable discusses the histories of the Cayuga-Seneca Canal, the Oswego Canal, the Chemung Canal, and the Crooked Lake Canal.
This is a companion to the previously published Erie Canal episode which can be viewed here.
