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.
