The Oneida County History Center will host author Wade Allen Lallier for a signing of his new book Chenango Canal: The Million Dollar Ditch on Wednesday, September 20th, starting at 5:30 pm.
Chenango Canal: The Million Dollar Ditch chronicles the story of a central New York canal and how it changed the region. Touted as “the best built canal in New York State,” the canal was never profitable for the state, but did bring prosperity to the communities along its length. Lallier will discuss the canal’s history and impact on Oneida County. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and for the author to sign.
This program takes place in the center’s main gallery, located at 1608 Genesee Street, Utica.

There has been a mistake on the publishing of the date for the Chenango Canal event at the Oneida County History center. September 30th is Daturday, not Wednesday.
Thank you! I’ve fixed it. It is Wednesday, September 20th.
