"A very nice local and regional history museum with a number of interactive exhibits on the functioning of the nineteenth century waterways that were so essential to the settlement and development of this region. Enjoyable and informative for children and adults alike."

"The people working here are so nice and knowledgeable. We said yes to the tour and it was excellent. It looks so small on the outside, but it is a series of buildings, very well done. The interactive lock exhibit, pulley demonstration and canal boat till was really the highlight. I want to go back to play again."

"Ok. So you have to like canals and happen to be in booneville NY. If those stars align in your lifetime, check this place out. Learn about the sunken city of Delta, mess with a great scale model (with functioning locks), and find out why mules were preferred to horses for this grueling work. If you’ve ever wondered about the life and times of a mule named Sal, check out this museum about the black river canal."
