Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor

Towns sprouted along the length of the Erie Canal. Canal Street was Canastota's business district. Travelers stopped here for food and supplies or a bed for the night at a hotel or boarding house. Local farmers, merchants, and manufacturers shipped produce and other goods to larger, even international markets.
Horses and mules pulled wagons filled with barrels and crates to be loaded and unloaded at this bustling town center. Canastota's village streetscape has changed little from its early form shown in this late 19th-century photo.
