Erie Canal Songs with Cosby & Tom
Join us as we host the amazing Cosby Gibson and Tom Staudle for this history song program!
Cosby & Tom will perform canal songs and share the history of the Erie Canal with you inside the Enders House at Schoharie Crossing.
The Erie Canal was the most important advancement in the 1800’s for the transportation of goods in New York state. Running from Buffalo to Albany and connected to the Hudson River, it allowed New York City to become the largest trade port in the nation. And, it was born from an idea of a merchant in debtor’s prison, because they couldn’t receive their goods fast enough to pay bills!
For adults and older children, about 40 minutes.
This program is free and open to the public. Donations are graciously accepted to help support the Friends of Schoharie Crossing, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the Erie Canal at Schoharie Crossing.
