Whether you are a canal enthusiast or simply wonder why there are remnants of fancy stone walls in strange places along Route 209, the D&H Canal Interpretive Center will solve many mysteries about what people were up to in this area starting in the 1820s. 

The Center also houses original artifacts from the canal, photographs, paintings, documents, postcards, numerous maps, and other canal-related materials. A bookstore and restrooms are available.

The D&H Interpretive Center provides free group tours on select days. These are great for schools, history clubs, and community groups. The maximum group size is 40 people.
