The National Canal Museum Opens for the Season on Friday, March 27!

We’re excited to welcome you back! The National Canal Museum officially opens its doors on Friday, March 27, from 12–4 PM.

Be among the first to explore our newest exhibit, America’s Second Revolution.

Fifty years after the American Revolution, a new kind of revolution transformed eastern Pennsylvania. Canals made it possible to transport tons of anthracite coal quickly, efficiently, and affordably from the coal regions to the Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia, and beyond — reshaping communities, powering industries, and changing the nation’s trajectory.

Come discover the innovations, stories, and people who sparked this remarkable era.

Join us on Saturday, March 28 for the Lehigh Valley Passport to History Weekend, when we’ll be offering free access to the National Canal Museum and our exhibit. It’s the perfect opportunity to bring friends and family for a day of exploration along the canal.
