PORT JERVIS — The Delaware & Hudson Transportation Heritage Council (DHTHC) is proposing to host a D&H Bus Tour from Port Jervis to Phillipsport on Saturday, May 20, 2023 and would like to get an idea of the interest level by April 1st for planning purposes.

The tour will start at 10 a.m. and make multiple stops along the way to Phillipsport to explore locks, abutments, a telegraph house, and other canal era features, with a return to Port Jervis expected at 3 p.m.

The cost is $55 per person and includes the transportation, guided narration, and lunch. At the end of the tour, a DVD produced by DHTHC about this section of the 1828-1898 canal will be available for purchase at $10.

To reserve seats on the bus, please provide contact information including an email address, phone number, and the number of people in each party to DHTHC Secretary Laurie Ramie at (845) 252-3022 or laurie@upperdelawarecouncil.org by April 1.

“Our previous tours have been very enjoyable as well as educational. We hope you join us on this tour,” says DHTHC Vice-President and bus tour coordinator Cliff Robinson, Jr., who may be reached at robmech@outlook.com for additional information on the itinerary.

Details, including the rendezvous location and advance payment instructions, will be shared upon confirmation of the viability of the bus tour.
