Born and raised in Middletown, I drove past the little museum and never went inside. We seem to always favor history in other areas but not in our own backyard. My next visit "home" I will make it a priority to visit the museum. Live and learn . .

I don't know if we talked about this the last time we met, but have you ever visited the "canal" in Indianapolis?Ronny Salernohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028420637930256541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-70503909089317011062017-07-21T11:48:04.628-04:002017-07-21T11:48:04.628-04:00Dear blogger,

It’s thoroughly, accurately, and impeccably done with careful links to your other postings on QC/D. (Pictures and their stories are what you do best.) The Miami Erie canal is a major chapter in the region’s history that is little appreciated. While scraps of remnants can be found all around region and state, most barely know its route. (For a hint, try searching googlemaps.com for “Canal Cincinnati.” Still today you’ll find two streets.)<br /><br />In your short paragraph you’ve teased and captured what should be enough to intrigue readers. <br /><br />BTW. This picture, found in Playmates of the Towpath by Charles Ludwig, (1929) is available from:<br /><br /> http://catalog.cincinnatilibrary.org/iii/encore/search/C__SPlaymates%20of%20the%20towpath__Orightresult__U1?lang=eng&suite=cobalt <br /><br />Or reprints are available for purchase from The Ohio Bookstore: http://www.ohiobookstore.net/ <br /><br />Nick Rechtin<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
