ROME, N.Y. — Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor has secured a grant from the National Park Foundation to enhance educational programs about the Erie Canal.<\/p>\n

The grant will allow 5,000 students to visit 17 canal educational sites during the 2025-26 school year and will support teacher development.<\/p>\n

Since 2012, more than 65,000 students from over 300 schools have visited canal sites due to grants from the National Park Foundation and other supporters.<\/p>\n

In the Mohawk Valley, there are two notable educational sites: Fort Stanwix National Monument in Rome and the Oneida Community Mansion House in Oneida.<\/p>\n
