The public is invited to pick up a free 2023 Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor calendar at selected libraries and visitor centers throughout the National Heritage Corridor. The calendar, which was released December 1, features winning images from this year’s Erie Canalway photo contest.
“The Erie Canal transformed New York and the Nation and continues to contribute to the economy and sense of place of communities along it today,” said Bob Radliff, Erie Canalway Executive Director. “The calendar serves as a reminder to celebrate, preserve, and enjoy this incredible place all year long.”
Calendars will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, thanks to support from the NYS Canal Corporation and the National Park Service.
New York State Canal Corporation Director Brian U. Stratton said, “There is a reason they call December ‘the most wonderful time of the year!’ The annual Erie Canalway Calendar is a perennial favorite, beloved and eagerly awaited by all. Released at the start of the holiday season with photos captured by our friends and neighbors in canalside communities, this calendar is a testament to the beauty of this historic and scenic waterway. We are proud to continue to support this publication as it brings the charm of New York’s canals into our homes and offices for all to enjoy.”
This year’s cover features the Yankee Hill Lock at Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site near Amsterdam by Tim Stephen of Rotterdam Junction.
Locally, calendars are available while supplies last at the following locations: Hoag Library in Albion; Seymour Library and Brockport Welcome Center in Brockport; Newman Riga Library in Churchville; Greece Public Library; Hamlin Public Library; Community Free Library in Holley; Chili Public Library; Gates Public Library; and Ogden Farmers’ Library in Spencerport.
