“The Champlain Canal: Two-Hundred Years of Change” Book Talk

Join Matt Harrison of Lake Champlain Maritime Museum for a talk on the Museum’s newly published anthology, The Champlain Canal: 200 Years of Change. This new book features chapters by historians, archeologists, and biologists on the past and present evolutions of the Champlain Canal which celebrated its bicentennial in 2023. The talk will focus on early tourism on the waters of the canal and on Lake Champlain, in particular the accounts of two women travelers who recorded their vacations along the canal in the 1890s — Florence Snedeker and Augusta Brown.
