Ohio and Erie Canal National Heritage Corridor was produced by the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, in partnership with the Ohio and Erie Canal National Heritage Corridor, Ohio Historic Preservation Office and the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO). It was created under the direction of the John W. Roberts, Acting Chief of the National Register of Historic Places, and National Historic Landmarks Program, Patrick W. Andrus, Heritage Tourism Program Manager, and Beth L. Savage, Publications Managing Editor, in cooperation with Carol D. Shull, Chief of Heritage Education Services. Ohio and Erie Canal National Heritage Corridor is based on information in the files of the National Register of Historic Places and National Historic Landmarks collections. These materials are kept at 1201 Eye St., NW, Washington, D.C., and are open to the public from 9:00am to 12:00pm, Monday through Thursday.

Jeff Winstel, former Planner for Cuyahoga Valley National Park, conceptualized the project, wrote the descriptions and essays and compiled all photographic and written materials for the itinerary. National Register web production team members included Jeff Joeckel, who designed the itinerary, Rustin Quaide, and Shannon Davis (all of NCSHPO). Maps were designed by Rustin Quaide. Shannon Davis coordinated project production and edited property descriptions. Veronica Glashauckas, intern from Ursuline College, provided assistance with the development of materials.
