T
he New York State Canal System
has been officially recognized as
something any of us who travel its waters know already – it is among the premier
historic sites in the United States, of exceptional value and quality that illustrates
our nation’s heritage. Thanks to a recent act by the National Park System and
the Secretary of the Interior, over 450 miles of canal system have now been so
recognized.
National Historic Landmark status shines a spotlight on the canal corridor as a
destination and helps it better compete with other cultural heritage destinations.
