Our Mission
The Erie Canal Museum engages the public in the story of the Erie Canal’s transformative impacts on peoples and places in the past, present, and future. We are stewards and interpreters of Erie Canal related materials and heritage.
Our Vision
We will be the leading interpreter of the Erie Canal’s profound influence on Central New York, the United States, and the world, while being a vibrant hub in downtown Syracuse, engaging the community onsite and online with our world class collections and unique educational experiences.
