The Historical Association of Lewiston will host Lockport Union Sun & Journal reporter Heidi Truschel-Light for the program, \u201cHandling Mules on the Erie Canal\u201d. The presentation takes place at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Lutheran Church of the Messiah Fellowship Hall, 915 Oneida St., Lewiston.<\/p>\n
The Erie Canal is a celebrated part of New York\u2019s history, but a large part of the canal\u2019s operation has disappeared from memory and records. Little is known about how mules were handled on the Erie Canal. While locks are restored, canal-side buildings are preserved, and museum exhibits have been created, the presence of mules has been erased.\u00a0Boaters on today\u2019s canal can relive the journey and visit the towns that sprang up across New York state without ever seeing a sign of what the towpath was created to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
