A Brief History of Syracuse

The city of Syracuse rose from humble beginnings to become the fifth most populous city in New York state, and grew as a result of the Erie Canal and the industry it spurred.

Join The Erie Canal Museum staff for a Facebook Live program by Curator Ashley Maready, detailing Syracuse's early history through its canal years to the present day. It's free and open to all. Be sure to post questions in the comments on this event, or ask questions during the program.
