Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum

Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum is a restored 19th-century boatyard along the Erie Canalway Trail in Chittenango, in Madison County. It tells the story of canal boat building from the days when the Erie Canal was a main route for goods and people.

Visitors can explore a three-bay dry dock, a canal store and a blacksmith shop, or see a reconstructed canal boat up close. Kayak and bike rentals are available by appointment, which makes it easy to pair a museum stop with time on the canal and trail.
