Your Park in Your Hands

Saturdays, Beginning Spring 2009

 

Join the C&O Canal NHP and its partner, the C&O Canal Trust, this spring for C&O Canal Pride Days 2009. Last year, over 700 volunteers tackled over 70 projects to help the park, everything from painting signs and picnic tables to pulling weeds and repairing trails. Canal Pride Days has projects for every age and skill level--everyone is welcomed to help. To learn more about C&O Canal Pride Days 2009, contact Jenna Warrenfeltz at warrenfeltz@canaltrust.org.

Did You Know?
George Washington's dream of connecting the eastern states with the western frontier led to the creation of the Patowmack Company. Canals were built around unnavigable parts of the Potomac River for improved commerce. The C&O Canal inherited the right of way after the Patowmack Company's demise.
