I & M Canal: Now and Then Tour

ID : 16922   
« back to classes page
Compare water travel in 1848 with that of today. First you’ll take a trip on the I & M Canal boat, a replica of an 1840s mule-powered packet boat. After your voyage, enjoy the hearty boat captain’s lunch, catered and served in the I & M Canal Visitor Center (vegetarian and gluten-free options are available on request). Then, you’ll take a trip to the Starved Rock locks and see how it accommodates the barges of today. A guide will join you on your 15-minute trip between the two sites. The Illinois Waterway Visitor Center offers a look at 20th- and 21st-century water travel and is a great place to view Starved Rock without all the traffic.
