Erie Extension Canal

Remains of the canal bed may be seen beside the railroad, below the bridge. Less than 2 miles away, this Shenango Line, from New Castle, united with the Conneaut Line, from Erie. The entire canal was in use 1844-1871.

Marker is at the intersection of Grand Army of the Republic Highway (U.S. 6) and Brooks Road, on the right when traveling east on Grand Army of the Republic Highway.
