Businesses – museums & community members of these villages have joined together to spread the word that the Erie Canal offers great things all year round BUT that Autumn On The Erie is especially beautiful and that there is a lot of activity going on. 2012 is the 4th year of Autumn On The Erie and we are excited to share it with everyone. Below is a listing of events and we will be featuring one of these events as we get our blog up and running for 2012. There is something for everyone.
