Big Red Towing

The Erie Canal Museum traces history back to the mid-1800s when “weigh-lock” buildings were located along the length of the canal, and used to determine the toll that passing boats had to pay to get through the area between Albany and Buffalo. This museum is a National Register Landmark weigh lock building that features several interactive exhibits, multimedia presentations as well as actual artifacts that all tell the detailed story of how tolls were originally calculated.

Getting married is a huge commitment. Before the bride commits to walking down the aisle, she has to make sure that she and everyone in her party look their best for the big day. Syracuse's Spybaby Bridal is a full-service salon that specializes in making everyone from the bride to her mother and the bridesmaids look truly stunning. The boutique also offers an impressive array of gowns and other accessories in addition to doing the hair, nails and makeup of the entire party to make sure that everything is perfect leading up to the big “I do”s.

In addition to being a venue filled with some truly compelling interactive exhibits, the Erie Canal Museum is filled with some deep history of the area. It all began back in the 1800's when “weigh lock” buildings were located along the length of the canal to determine the toll that boats would pay to pass through between Albany and Buffalo. This museum is located at the halfway point between the two, and it is even more dramatic as it is housed in an authentic National Register Landmark weigh lock building. In addition to the aforementioned exhibits and attractions, there are also several fascinating artifacts and audiovisual presentations that tell the story of the canal's hard-fought construction.
