It’s educational and informative for all ages. It shows extensive collection of artifacts and other historical accounts of Erie Canal. It also has the full-size boat replica.
Upstairs is featuring beautiful Gingerbread houses.
Great place to visit.
Wow we learned so much. A fun gift shop and a historian gatekeeping. I wish we could have stayed longer
It's a quaint little museum with a replica of one of the boats that would be used on the Erie Canal.
Great well-curated museum with extensive exhibits on Syracuse and the Erie Canal. The staff were incredibly friendly and were eager to answer any questions I had. This is also a stamp location for the Erie Canalway National Herritage Corridor.
A great little museum filled with interesting facts on the life & times of the canal. We were welcomed y friendly helpful staff. Well worth a visit.
See a barrage was really cool and the gentleman at the desk was very informative & helpful. Sent us to lock 24 in baldwinville and that was very interesting
Well worth the visit. Fascinating piece of American History
I had been to Syracuse a couple of times for college visits and was confused by the Erie Canal -- where was it? I thought it went through Syracuse? Can I see it? So on my latest visit, I went to the museum to understand more. Within minutes, my questions were answered, and I learned so much. Dick was working at the front desk, and he was so friendly and knowledgeable and helpful. He loaded us up with information brochures and local recommendations. A great visit and resource in Syracuse!
Lovely small museum with lots of interesting details. Loved the canal boat replica. The building itself used to be a weighlock.

I thought this museum was amazing! I got to learn a lot about the Eerie canal. Didn't know there was such a rich history.
Well organized museum offering exhibits that appeal to adults and kids. There is a lot of information but much of it is accompanied by simply diagrams and pictures that help illustrate the story or fact. This museum was the main reason we stopped in Syracuse while on a family road trip. It’s a must see if you are in Syracuse or passing by.
Nice museum. Lots of things to look at and learn about. Gentlemen manning the desk was very friendly.
Great museum with educational exhibits and history. Good for kids and adults to enjoy local finds!
What an interesting place! We learned about the fascinating history of the canal along with the history of the development of western NY. Dana, our guide, was so knowledgeable. A great stop when visiting Syracuse!
