History
In
the 19th century the C&O Canal provided jobs and opportunities
for people throughout the Potomac River Valley. Today the canal's
remains provide a place to recreate and enjoy nature, but most importantly
they tell the story of the canal's important role in many aspects
of American history. These include western expansion, transportation,
engineering, the Civil War, immigration, industry and commerce.
