| Most people know about the Ohio & Erie Canalway thanks to the 110-mile Towpath Trail that winds south from downtown Cleveland. But the association that oversees our National Heritage Area recently handed out a boatload of money — $600,000 — to organizations working to preserve the history of the pioneer-days waterway as much as our enjoyment of it. Here’s who got what and how it’ll be used: |
| A $60,000 : West Creek Preservation Committee for the West Creek Greenway to Hemlock Creek connection |
| B $50,000 : Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association for the rehabilitation of the Stanford House |
| C $8,200 : Peninsula Valley Historic & Education Foundation for historic preservation through the Preserving Peninsula’s Past project |
| D $25,000 : Barberton Historical Society for trail development through the Anna Dean Farms |
| E $9,333 : City of Canal Fulton for a conceptual Historic Downtown Revitalization plan |
| F $62,500 : Great Lakes Science Center for the exhibit planning of The Great Lakes Story |
| G $40,000 : Western Reserve Historical Society for the development of the Core Experience exhibit |
| H $75,000 : Trust for Public Land for pre-development work on unimproved portions of the Towpath Trail |
