What Teachers Say About Our Programs

• Everything was excellent! This is a terrific program! It was a super field trip!
• Even the children remarked that it's "easier to understand when you actually get to see it!"
• We had a wonderful time and the children now have a lasting memory.
• I felt that the information was great - it reinforced what the students had previously learned, yet also taught them more specifics about this canal.
• This is my second year to visit the museum and I have really enjoyed both visits. Your program and facilities are excellent and I especially enjoy the beauty of the scenery and the quiet, relaxed atmosphere.
• I felt the content was just enough for the 4th grade class. They enjoyed hearing facts about children their age used as towboys as well as fact about the canal. Being able to see the canal as well as the photos, models, etc was an excellent way of learning about canals.

• It was a wonderful, informative trip. Chaperones and students learned and enjoyed. I find your program gets better every year!
• Both the walk on the towpath and the museum were excellent!
• The introductory video is excellent and the guides were wonderful - so knowledgeable and pleasant.
• It was a wonderful extension and really allowed the children to experience a time period in history.
• The best part of the program is hard to pick. All aspects from the talk, video and walking on the canal and boat were very interesting.
• Our guide was great! Very thorough - good with the children. She knew how to keep their attention and answer their questions.
• The children enjoyed all of it, especially the walk along the towpath, we had a wonderful time.
• A lot if information was given in a short time, but not too much for the children to grasp. It was also delivered in a way that grabbed their attention.

• The kids really enjoyed finding the coal along the towpath, viewing the model of the lock and participating in the hands-on activities.
• I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and look forward to returning next year!
