200 years since the beginning of the Erie Canal


One short block north of the Canaltown Days festivities on Palmyra’s Main
Street is the reason for the celebration — the Erie Canal, the waterway
that made New York the Empire State and opened the American Middle
West to the world.
It was no coincidence that DeWitt Clinton, the NYS Governor responsible
for the construction of the Erie Canal, had been, not too many years
earlier, Mayor of New York City. As mayor of New York, he prepared his
city for the inevitable growth he foresaw. To the north of the occupied
portion of Manhattan island, he laid out a grid system of roads for the
homes and buildings which would be required. Mayor Clinton is also
credited with urging ship owners to develop and adhere to a regular
schedule of operation. Prior practice was to wait for a full load before
departing.
One cannot help but wonder just when the idea of a canal across New
York State first occurred to Clinton, but his actions as mayor and his
determination to go forward after being rebuffed by President Thomas
Jefferson indicate the importance of the canal to him. For that we
should all be thankful.
The Erie Canal, begun in 1817, opened in sections and was formally
dedicated in 1825. Palmyra, however, became a canal town in 1823, and
was a bustling community and commercial center. With a population
of approximately 3,500, Palmyra was twice the size of Rochesterville,
about 20 miles to the west. The immediate success of the canal led to the
construction of the enlarged canal , wider and deeper than the original.
These were the canals of the draft animals and tow paths. Another

A musical legacy
and so much more
Canaltown Days Parade Grand Marshal Sharon Condit
honored for her contributions to school district and the community
By Steve Buchiere | Freelance Writer
Nazareth, after majoring in music the first two years. Condit returned after college
to her native Long Island, where she opened a health food store. She married her
husband Ralph, and they began a family. But music was still close to her heart. She
did some piano playing for the local school district, and a superintendent suggested
she was missing her calling.
She and the family returned to the Rochester area, and she pursued her music
degree at Naz, doing her student teaching at Pal-Mac, where she eventually became
a full-time teacher in 1991. In the first phase of her career at Pal-Mac, she worked
as an itinerant teacher, shifting between the Palmyra elementary and the middle
school on any given day. She shifted to the high school in 2007, where she took on
the marching band, a group that had experienced five different directors in 10 years
before her arrival.
“That’s a lot of turnover,” said the Webster resident. “They really didn’t establish
program and they didn’t establish continuity.”
Condit didn’t have much time to settle into the band director job. The first gig of
the season comes at the Canaltown Days Parade, and the band has just a couple of
weeks to prepare. She got through it, she said, with a lot of help from her students.
However, little did she know that her Canaltown Days involvement was going to
go a little deeper. It happened when Tom and Debbie Klemann invited her to their

H Horse-drawn Wagon & Carriage Parade H


Sunday, September 16th at 2:00 pm
As part of the Canaltown Days celebration, a special horse-drawn wagon and
carriage parade is planned for Sunday, September 16 at 2:00 pm. The parade
will start at the Fairgrounds and pass through Main Street.
The nostalgic demonstration of horses, wagons, carriages and people will be
an attempt to depict the role horses played in transportation during the early
canal era.
The horse, while not the only means, was by far the most popular and speedy
mode of transportation available during the early canal years.
Business depended heavily on horse-drawn wagons to deliver goods for
them to work with or to sell. The family “horse and buggy” was necessary for
many reasons. It provided the means with which to fetch provisions from the
general store, to take the family to church on Sunday, to visit the neighbors, to
go for help in an emergency and even to provide the young men of the family
with a suitable courting vehicle.
The finer (lighter) breeds served the family transportation needs and light
commercial duties, such as transporting the traveling salesman as he made
his assigned rounds.
The heavier draft horse provided the muscle to pull the heavily-laden freight
wagons. Grain, lumber and other heavy materials were transported across
the land to and from the canal boats on wagons pulled by these great animals.

Come out and enjoy the parade!
