Curator Dan Ward joins Jane to talk about The Eric Canal Museum in Syracuse, NY. We'll  find out what its mission is, how it differs from other museums about the Erie Canal and what its archives hold. He'll tell us about the recently opened exhibit wing in this gem of a museum. This is a must-see museum for all things Erie Canal!
