Pardon Our Dust
Onondaga County is investing in renovations and repairs of the Erie Canal Museum, including the 1850 Syracuse Weighlock Building. We’re trying to make the construction work have as little impact on visitation as possible, but we do need to close portions of the Museum on certain days or for periods of time during the day. We’re very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Any contribution you can provide is greatly appreciated. We accept cash, credit card, and Venmo at the Museum, or you can donate before you arrive.
The Erie Canal Museum is set up for a self-guided experience. However, we often have docents available to engage with visitors around the Museum. Docents are typically available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10am-12pm.
In the summer, we offer a series of Guided Walking Tours. To find out more about them, visit our Events Page.
