Canal Museum gets a new look

After 15 years of operation, the Spencerport Depot and Canal museum is now open for the season with a new look. Director Simon Devenish undertook a major overhaul of the museum layout last year to provide a more interactive experience for visitors new and old as they enjoy a stroll through history.

“We invite you to look at our exhibits for 2022,” Devenish said. “You’ll be amazed at what you might learn.” The museum is currently open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

One of the most interactive displays at the museum is its 1/32 scale model of the Spencerport lift bridge. Visitors get to experience what it takes to be a lift bridge operator.

“We are grateful to our dedicated volunteers and staff who keep the museum running,” Devenish said. “If you would like to take advantage of the best views on the Canal, please consider signing up to volunteer as a museum greeter.” 

For information about volunteering, contact Devenish at 352-0942 or email info@spencerportmuseum.org.
