Old Canal Days

   
We will have two horse and buggy carriages at this years festival. Both begin at the Lincoln Landing with one carriage heading south along the I&M Canal to Lock #1 and the other heading north to the future site of the Will County Heritage Village (currently under construction).

Each wagon holds about 10 people plus the guide. The guide will dress in period costume and be prepped with a script and historical knowledge relevant to their section. If you like being the center of attention, this is the job for you!
