“where transportation heritage is alive”
Transportation heritage is alive at Canal Place, Maryland's first Certified Heritage Area. The unique assets of the heritage area, its place in history, and the beauty of its natural resources distinguishes Canal Place as an ideal setting for a multitude of activities and events for years to come.
Today, Cumberland’s transportation heritage is alive at Canal Place. Visitors can ride a steam train, hike or bike the towpath, tour a full scale Canal Boat Replica, learn about canal history at the C&O Canal National Historical Park’s Cumberland Visitor Center, enjoy unique community festivals and, in the near future, take a ride on a canal boat!
Interesting historical area, with important landmarks in US History. We enjoyed the walk, but more funding needs to be added to ensure off season traveller's enjoy this area for its beauty.
