Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farms Presents: A Tour of the Clinton-Kalamazoo Canal

Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farms Presents: A Tour of the Clinton-Kalamazoo Canal

Michigan’s first internal improvement in 1837 was a proposed canal that was supposed to run through the Rochester community! Join us for a tour of the remains of the Clinton-Kalamazoo Canal – our answer to the Erie Canal. As you retrace its route from Mt. Clemens to Rochester, you will be able to walk along parts of the canal, where some portions still contain water, see remains of one of the locks, and learn the history of this manmade waterway that endured as a millrace long after its use for transportation ended. This event is presented by the Clinton and Kalamazoo Canal Society.
 
Bring a bag lunch.
Participants drive themselves to multiple locations throughout the tour.
 
Presented by the Clinton and Kalamazoo Canal Society in partnership with the Rochester Hills Museum at Van Hoosen Farm.
