Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site
Join us after
the World Canals Conference for this discussion of "Raging Erie" with
author Mark Ferrara.
"Ferrara
tells the stories of the ordinary people who lived, worked, and died along the
banks of the canal, emphasizing the forgotten role of the poor and working
class in this epochal transformation.
The Raging Erie chronicles the fates of the Native Americans whose land was
appropriated for the canal, the European immigrants who bored its route through
the wilderness, and the orphan children who drove draft animals that pulled
boats around the clock. Ferrara also shows how the canal served as a conduit for
the movement of new ideas and religions, a corridor for enslaved people seeking
freedom via the Underground Railroad, and a spur for social reform movements
that emerged in response to the poverty and suffering along its path."
This program
will be held inside the Enders House (adjacent to the Visitor Center),

Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site
Join us for a
terrific music event! The talented Cosby Gibson and Tom Staudle will be inside
the Enders House here at Schoharie Crossing to perform their program, Erie
Canal Songs!
We wrap up out 2025 Visitor Season and the Bicentennial of the Erie Canal with
this wonderful music program.
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.
Program begins
at 1pm inside the Enders House adjacent to the Visitor Center. There will be
light refreshments after the performance. FREE and open to the public.
