The Lake Erie Seaway Trail Center (LESTC) has long been a welcoming gateway and visitor center to travelers, local town residents, and passer-bys along the Great Lakes Seaway Trail, a New York State National Designated Scenic Byway.

As we look to the future, we’re excited to continue our clean-up efforts and beautification of the Center —including exploring the possibility of a community mural to bring new life and color to the historical Wanakah water works building.

We’ve partnered with artist and consultant, Saira Siddiqui, to lead a community engagement process and help us envision what this next chapter of the LESTC can look like. (Learn more about her most recent project here.)
👉 And we need your input! Please take a few minutes to fill out our community survey. Your feedback will help us reimagine the future of the building and guide the development of a potential mural design: Survey Link Here

Also, please mark your calendars! On Thursday, November 6 from 4–7pm, we’ll host a community open house at the Center. This event will build on survey input and invite neighbors of all ages to co-create ideas for programming and mural themes. Activities will be designed for all ages — come share your voice, your story, and your vision for the LESTC.
Thank you for helping us imagine what’s next for this community space. We look forward to seeing you soon!
