Delphi Wabash & Erie Canal Park (#0214)

Delphi is home of the longest, publicly accessible, water-filled remaining portion of the Wabash & Erie Canal. The canal portion seen here is derived from the original, though when the canal was revived to create the current park, even this portion was just a weed-clogged ditch. The water that is in the canal now comes from the quarries of a nearby limestone company. The structures around the park (other than the bridge) are replicas or original buildings moved to the park from other locations. The main goal of the park is to provide education about the historic canal, and it appears to accomplish that.
