A 2018 historical marker about the Erie Canal is mounted above an 1817 map of the proposed canal inside the Explore and More Children’s Museum in Buffalo, New York. The museum at 130 Main Street is located by Canalside, a redeveloped waterfront at the 1825 terminus of the Erie Canal. (Andy Bass photo, 2025)

A marker for Mile Post Zero of the Erie Canal Trail overlooks the “Ruins at Canalside,” the site of a former nineteenth century distillery building, in Buffalo, New York. The multi-use recreational trail runs 360 miles between Buffalo and Albany. It primarily traces the canal’s historic towpaths. (Andy Bass photo, 2025)
200 years ago today, October 26, 1825:
The Erie Canal was ceremonially opened in Buffalo, New York. The 363-mile-long artificial waterway stretched from Albany on the Hudson River to Buffalo on Lake Erie, connecting the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. It transformed Buffalo into a major hub.
