Not too much to see here regarding the Ohio and Erie Canal (compared to the Erie Canal museum in Syracuse, NY, which is very impressive).

If you are interested in local history this is a good stop. Free entry but you may have to get buzzed in. The structure is not original. It was relocated and built to replicate the house of Richard Howe, who was a chief engineer of the Ohio Erie Canal, 19th century. Lots of graphics and such in an exhibition about Howe can be viewed here. Friendly staff.
