Get Involved: Awards Program
The Erie Canalway Heritage Award of Excellence celebrates significant places in the National Heritage Corridor where people have come together to make their part of the Corridor a vibrant place to live, work, or play.
The award is offered biennially, alternating with Heritage Showcase Workshops, where award-winning sites share best practices and lessons learned with people doing similar work.
