The museum is housed in the National Register 1850 Syracuse Weighlock Building – where canal boats were weighed to assess a toll – and is the only remaining structure of its kind in America.
The Erie Canal Museum showcases the only existing weighlock building in the United States, collects and conserves Erie Canal material, and promotes awareness of the Erie Canal's history and impact through educational programs. Come aboard a full size replica canal boat. Explore life in a canal town. Learn about the man-made waterway that played a major role in the growth and development of our country. The Erie Canal Museum is a must-see for adults and children of all ages!
