WATERFORD, NY- The public is invited to pick up a free 2010 Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor calendar starting December 1, 2009 at selected libraries and visitor centers throughout the National Heritage Corridor.

The Corridor stretches 524 miles across the full expanse of upstate New York, from Buffalo to Albany and north along the Champlain Canal to Whitehall, and encompasses 234 diverse communities connected by a waterway that changed not just the landscape of our state, but also our nation and its history.
