Who We Are
Located on the Enlarged Erie Canal, our site is a unique nineteenth-century dry dock complex that can be the backdrop for your journey through history. Experience what life was like working and living along the Erie Canal! View the three dry dock bays (deep, middle, and shallow). Explore the reconstructed general store, the blacksmith shop, boat shop, mule stable, and visitors center. The Empire Trail passes directly across the Erie Canal from our site. Stop in for a break if you’re biking, walking, skiing, or snowmobiling! We offer recreational activities, as well as history, educational, folk arts, and STEAM programming, and our site is listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
What We Do
The Mission of the Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum is to interpret the broad and deep history of Chittenango Landing: the land, air, water and people by engaging the public through educational and recreational programming. While preserving and interpreting the recreated 19th century dry dock complex, the museum fosters connections between the past and present in the Old Erie Canal State Historic Park.
