Wabash and Erie Canal Completed 1853

The approximately 460 mile canal from Toledo, Ohio, to Evansville, Indiana, was the longest canal built in the United States. Here a section constructed above the natural land surface to prevent flooding and erosion, remains intact.

Marker is on Indiana Route 57 north of County Route 150N, on the left when traveling north.
