Erie Canal voyage spots history through Hopkins art
John Henry Hopkins drew canal scenes in 1825 as the Erie Canal opened. Now a Vermont history museum co founder tours the waterway by tugboat, visiting about 30 communities over six weeks, giving talks and distributing rarely seen Hopkins sketches to boost interest ahead of the Erie Canal’s 200th anniversary. He sails aboard the C.L. Churchill from Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, sharing prints and matching the canal’s early engineering legacy with modern museums and societies.
