Join us with speaker John Montague of the Buffalo Maritime Center for Canal Tales: Following the Seneca Chief, an engaging talk and Q&A that brings the history of the Erie Canal to life through the remarkable journey of the Seneca Chief. In 1825, the original Seneca Chief packet boat carried a symbolic cask of Lake Erie water from Buffalo to New York City to celebrate the opening of the canal-an event that forever changed New York State and the nation.
