Introducing the newly published book The Champlain Canal: 200 Years of Change with Matt Harrison.  This book features chapters by historians, archeologists, and biologists on the past and present evolutions of the Champlain Canal which celebrated its bicentennial in 2023. Harrison’s talk will focus on early tourism on the waters of the canal and on Lake Champlain, in particular the accounts of two women travelers who recorded their vacations along the canal in the 1890s -- Florence Snedeker and Augusta Brown.
