Songs & Life on the Erie Canal- Doug Yeomans

The Erie Canal program presents students with the music and cultures that came together during the building and use of the Erie Canal along with commentary and stories to help students of 2022 relate to the challenges and dynamics of early 1800’s America. By making comparisons to today’s world, students are invited to critically think of the parallels of yesterdays decisions with today’s challenges that will move our world forward.

Programming made possible by the generous support of Humanities New York and Arts for Learning WNY.
