Pennsylvania Canal

The North Branch and West Branch Divisions, built 1828-34, joined here in Northumberland at a canal basin. Boats with coal from Nanticke or lumber from Williamsport locked down into the river nearby and re-entered the Canal on the west bank.

Marker is on Water Street (U.S. 11), on the right when traveling south.
