New York State - Canal Culture

The New York State Canal System, nicknamed "Clinton's Ditch" or "Clinton's Folly" after Governor DeWitt Clinton, was built by immigrant workers.

It also became a new culture, with songs, folklore, floating houses, gambling, and entertainment. It is again becoming a vacation destination, with fishermen and cyclists replacing boats towed by mules.
