Preserving America's early transportation history, the C&O; Canal began as a
dream of passage to Western wealth. Operating for nearly 100 years the canal
was a lifeline for communities along the Potomac River as coal, lumber, and
agricultural products floated down the waterway to market. Today it endures as
a pathway for discovering historical, natural, and recreational treasures.
