Course Description

The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal has fascinating stories to be told. Along the 14 miles of the nearly 200-year-old waterway, every town and village, every lock and bridge, and every camp spot used by Union soldiers during the Civil War contributed to the engaging narrative. Discover the role that mule-drawn barges, locks, steamboats, and changing methods of transportation played in the evolving history of the Canal and the region. First session meets in person on campus. Session two meets at C and D Canal Museum, 815 Bethel Road, Chesapeake City. Session 3 meets at Batter Park, Delaware City, 30 Clinton Street, Delaware City, DE. Transportation is the responsibility of the student.
