Over the past several years, a number of people have emailed me about an island near Herkimer, created when the Barge Canal was built, that contains ruins of the old Erie Canal as well as remains of the 1798 German Flatts Canal.

This is an area studied by the State Museum between 1982 and 1992, first under contract to the NYSDOT and later as a Museum research project.

For those interested in canal history and heritage area development, you might like to take a peek at http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/plantationisland/

I always welcome feedback.
