Have you ridden your bike or walked The Portage Hike and Bike Trail and noticed the “ditch”? What did you think when you saw it? Did you think it was a canal? Portage Park District volunteer and canal historian, Denny Reiser, will tell you about this ditch and how it changed the lives of those living in Portage County in the 1800’s. Join us for an introduction to the Pennsylvania and Ohio Canal. 

The link to the zoom webinar will be emailed to registrants prior to the event.
