We went under several more lift bridges today. The scenery changed to a lot of farms and crops. We saw a couple of bald eagles perched in a tree but not one of the three boats was able to get a picture of them!
The canal crosses over Culvert Road on an aqueduct and this is the only place where cars can drive under the Erie Canal.
Just after the Culvert Road crossing, the canal also crosses over Orchard Creek.
After a nice lunch at a Zambistro which had tablecloths (when have we seen those!), we took a walk to see Medina Falls and later toured a magnificent Railroad Museum.
Medina is known for its beautiful sandstone as seen in the following two churches.
The Medina Railroad Museum houses one of the largest model train layouts in the country at 204 feet long by 14 feet wide. The layout is a timeline of how transportation of goods in Western New York began with the Erie Canal and progressed to trains.
We ended the evening with ice cream at Rudy’s.
