Quarantine Coffee Hour: Marginalized Populations on the Delaware and Hudson Canal

Quarantine Coffee Hour: Marginalized Populations on the Delaware and Hudson Canal

Today we take a look at the marginalized people who lived and worked along one of New York’s other notable canals, the Delaware and Hudson. We are joined for this timely discussion by the D&H Canal Historical Society’s Deputy Director of Collections, Historian and Curator, Bill Merchant. Please join the discussion in the comments and ask any questions that may pop up. Also, if you haven’t read this week’s article yet, written by Bill about immigrants on the D&H, be sure to check it out and follow along here: https://eriecanalmuseum.org/immigrants-dh-canal/
