Inside the caves at Lockport


We went on an interesting tour through the Caves of Lockport. While the Erie Canal was very important for transportation, it was also important for providing power to a few businesses. This underground tunnel, or cave adjacent to the Canal took 10 years to build. A train track is above us, and they say they have never heard it pass. We're glad we didn't have to pick ax and dynamite our way through!
