Waterford, NY\u00a0\u2014 As America marks its 250th anniversary, the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor is launching Revolutionary Experiences<\/a>\u00a0road trips along New York\u2019s historic waterways. These self-guided itineraries invite residents and visitors alike to explore the people, places, and ideas that helped shape the nation and expand the promise of liberty for all.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cSo much of America\u2019s Revolutionary history unfolded along New York\u2019s waterways,\u201d said Bob Radliff, Executive Director of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor. \u201cFrom pivotal battles on the Hudson River during the Revolutionary War, to the women\u2019s rights movement in Seneca Falls along the Cayuga\u2013Seneca Canal, to securing safe passage along the \u2018Champlain Line\u2019 of the Underground Railroad, we are thrilled to offer new ways for people to step into history right here in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Four self-guided road trip itineraries are available online for free download. Each includes suggested places to visit, boat tours, and optional hiking, cycling, and paddling, as well as dining and lodging options:<\/p>\n
\u201cVisitors can follow each itinerary as written or, if time is limited, choose shorter segments that still deliver meaningful Revolutionary Experiences,\u201d Radliff added. “By planning now, we hope people are ready to hit the road when the New York State Canal System opens in mid-May.”<\/p>\n
