D&H Canal Interpretive Center Opens for the Season
The Delaware & Hudson Canal Interpretive Center (16 Bova Road, Summitville) is open for the season.
The Interpretive Center will remain open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday through September 1, from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and from noon–5 p.m. Sundays.
Sullivan County’s D&H Canal Interpretive Center sits adjacent to the historic remains of the former Delaware & Hudson Canal, including a lock and waste weir. The Center takes visitors on an exploration of life on the canal, through each phase of the canal’s construction and its 70 years of operation.
Visitors can learn about the lock system and enjoy the historic features of the site, hike along the canal towpath from Summitville to Wurtsboro and enjoy occasional special events!
The Center also houses original artifacts from the canal, photographs, paintings, documents, postcards, numerous maps, and other canal-related materials. A bookstore and restrooms are available.
The D&H Interpretive Center provides free group tours on select days. These are great for schools, history clubs, and community groups! The maximum group size is 40 people. For more information or to book a reservation, contact the Sullivan County Parks, Recreation & Beautification Department at scparks@sullivanny.gov or 845-807-0287.
