Heritage and History
Heritage is now!
The Main Line Canal was a saga in itself, but there are many more stories associated with the landscape, built environment, and people who lived and traveled through the corridor. Whether it is a small, local historic museum or a nationally recognized heritage site, the Greenway is rich with cultural legacies. Historic societies and preservation organizations welcome volunteers.
