Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site

Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site in Fort Hunter, Montgomery County - New York.  Where the Schoharie Creek meets the Mohawk River, this site is a premier location to witness all three major phases of the Erie Canal; from the original "Clinton's Ditch" to the modern "Barge Canal" - the site features the remains of the Schoharie Creek Aqueduct, two sets of double locks (Empire Lock #29 & Yankee Hill Lock #28), as well as a restored canal store "Putmans Grocery."  

The Visitor Center contains an exhibit on the canal called "Pathway to Empire" as well as the location's 18th century history as the place of Fort Hunter and the lower Mohawk village, Tiononderoge.
