I got a mule, her name is Sal
15 miles on the Erie Canal
She's a good ol' worker and a good ol' pal
15 miles on the Erie Canal
We've hauled some barges in our day
Filled with lumber, coal and hay
And she knows ev'ry inch of the way
From Albany to Buffalo-oh
Low bridge! Ev'rybody down!
Low bridge, cuz we're comin' to a town
And you'll always know your neighbor
You'll always know your pal
If you've ever navigated on the Erie Canal

There's something about this channel that keeps drawing me in. It's difficult to balance easy listening with informative content, and this guy nails it. Love this channel, and you've got yourself a new subscriber!

Fun Fact:  Chicago largely started developing as a result of the Erie Canal.  It effectively connected the Upper Midwest with NYC.

Palmyra - pronounced Pal-MY-rah is a beautiful village.  (again I get youre from texas) Just a local helping you out! Thanks again for the great content.  Lyons (pronounced Lions) is a very poor town and there are other poor towns around that area, like Sparta.  The boat tours along the canal are pretty cool they will take you into a lock and raise and lower the boat so you can see how it works while you are cruising on it.

Always fascinated by upstate New York's beauty, history, and diverse culture.

This was a nice WNY nostalgia for me. My family is from the Buffalo and Rochester area. You should visit true upstate NY, which is the Adirondacks. Especially during fall, it's sooooo beautiful!

FYI - Palmyra is pronounced with the "y" as a long "i".
Also, I believe Palmyra is a town, but towns in upstate NY usually have a more densely populated center that's called the Village of ___, where homeowners pay an additional village tax to receive more ammenities (such as garbage pick up, piped-in water, as opposed to wells, and sewage, rather than septic tanks.) Outside a village, people pay private companies for those services (garbage disposal, emptying the septic tanks.) Many of the towns in this area (maybe all of them), have volunteer fire departments and volunteer ambulance service (although property taxes do provide funding for the vehicles and buildings to house them.)
ALSO -  The Wayne County Fair is held in Palmyra and this year will run from Aug 14-19. It's a very nice fair.

Funny, I was just searching your channel to see if you'd visited upstate NY yet. I know all of these towns very well. I live in the southern tier which is another area worth a visit. A lot of history in this part of the country is overlooked,  some good hard working people and sadly a government that doesn't invest in the area much at all. Weather is gorgeous too, one of the nicest places in the world imo. I recommend visiting the southern tier and Hamilton, NY which is one of the most rural parts of upstate NY and arguably the most beautiful. Upstate has really suffered due to the outsourcing of jobs in this country. Endicott, Johnson City, Binghamton, and Owego where I live are all prime examples of that. Thanks for showing these little towns off since not many people will ever pass through them.

Upstate New York is gorgeous and affordable, a great place to raise a family, if you can learn to embrace winter recreation.

Am from Rwenzori mountains Kasese Uganda, but I have never even traveled to any country but I appreciate your efforts I have tried to know some parts in US and that is my dream country to stay and work from

I love upstate New York!

I grew up in Fairport NY with the cannel close to my home.  Good to see this.

I grew up in New York State { upper Hudson River Valley } and there were not very many Mormons there. One girl in my entire High School was a Mormon and I never knew that until she was 16. Love your travel videos, by the way. This edition has made me miss New York; I've been gone a long time, since 1972.

The confluence of the Mohawk River and the South Chuctanunda Creek was our playground when we were kids.  The old tow path sits on the South Side of Amsterdam between the Mohawk and the Erie Canal ditch.  The British troops used the tow path back in the 1700's.  Relief units would march from Albany to Fort Oswego along this path.  Fort Hunter has a great old Erie Canal state park.  Great history through there.  Killer video.  Don't miss Amsterdam.  Kirk Douglas Hometown.

A great video,  as always.   Each of the towns were interesting,  and had a really nice feel to them.  The scenery along the canal is beautiful.   I loved the four churches at the intersection,  and I bet they look beautiful all lit up at night !!     Thanks so much,  Joe,  a very enjoyable video.🥰

I grew up in Brockport, NY, one of the many villages on the Erie Canal.  Too bad you didn't get that far, it is a pretty little Victorian village.  It is pretty good size too as Brockport State college is there.

As long as you are in the area, check out the wine country of the Finger Lakes. Beautiful scenery

I, as a European, love your channel, your tours and informative insights on US cities and towns.

I’m from the Albany area. Waterford, just north of Albany, is where the Erie and Champlain canals begin. This is an interesting area to explore.

Believe it or not, Albany is in competition with Santa Fe and Saint Augustine as one of the oldest cities in the USA; it is older than NYC. It also was in the top ten of populated cities in the USA at one time. It has always amazed me that Route 20 was a toll road that was the entry way to the west from Albany. You were considered a pioneer if your ventured west from there. The area is so rich in history.  

You do great work. I enjoy watching your videos.
