Champlain Canal Stories

Champlain Canal Stories is a mini-documentary series celebrating the canal’s 200th anniversary (1823-2023). It takes an intimate look at life and work along this important transportation corridor from Whitehall to Waterford in eastern New York.

Funding for this project came from a 2023 Special Programs Grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership.
Additional funding provided by the Alfred Z. Solomon Charitable Trust and New York State Council on the Arts - Folk Arts Program.
