On the canal.... there is what is left of a station in Fitchs Glen and you can still see
the canal which does have water in it at times.
I think and have seen pictures of where the canal crossed the Eel river in Logansport.
The foundation is still very visible.
Also the canal is preserved in Delphi and inbetween Delphi and Georgetown the "tow
path" road you can see parts of the canal yet. Around Lockport it is very visible,
around peterson hill I am thinking.

When I was little the canal was easy to see with water, etc. The last time I
went on #24 it was all overgrown which is a shame, I think. This was about
2000. I didn't think to look into Goggle. Ha Sallie

Sally,
I think this would have been the Wabash & Erie Canal. For more
information
on Indiana Canals, visit the Canal Society of Indiana at
http://www.indcanal.org/. On the menu on the left side of the page,
there
is a link to a map of the Canal Systems.
