The Reid Group
We are proud to promote our home on the 200th anniversary of the Erie Canal!
America’s Stairway is the Story of America Itself
The Historic Lockport Mill Race is excited to be a sponsor of America’s Stairway. As an organization that has its roots in the politics and power of the original Erie Canal Flight of Five Locks, the Historic Lockport Mill Race shares the origin story of Lockport’s 19th Century engineering marvel.
The Flight of Five’s Impact on a Young Nation
The Erie Canal has a deep and rich history. From the initial inception to the earlier, travelers, canal men and women, and into the present. The canal has impacted each community it touches in a significant way.
‘Opening of the Erie Canal’
‘Opening of the Erie Canal’ has been an inspiration for those of us involved in the production of America’s Stairway. The original 21’ tall mural today adorns the auditorium at Lockport High School in Lockport, NY.
