About the Tour: Beginning in the early 19th century, the development of the Ohio & Erie Canal insured Cleveland’s place as a location for trade and commerce. The turning basin of the canal was Cleveland’s first harbor. The river, not the lake, was the center of the economy. The redevelopment of the Towpath and Canal Basin celebrates this history and is a focal point for new investment.
