As America marks its 250th anniversary, the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor is launching Revolutionary Experiences road trips along New York’s historic waterways. Four self-guided itineraries invite tour takers to explore the people, places, and ideas that helped shape the nation and expand the promise of liberty for all.

“So much of America’s Revolutionary history unfolded along New York’s waterways,” said Bob Radliff, executive director of the heritage corridor. “From pivotal battles on the Hudson River during the Revolutionary War, to the women’s rights movement in Seneca Falls along the Cayuga–Seneca Canal, to securing safe passage along the ‘Champlain Line’ of the Underground Railroad, we are thrilled to offer new ways for people to step into history right here in New York.”
