Historical Society Meeting
A 200-year old canal boat, so perfectly preserved that its cost of paint was still intact, was one of six old boats unearthed during excavations this summer in the silt of Richmond’s Great Basin, the former terminus of the James River and Kanawha canals.
Russell H. Harding, publications director of the Virginia Canals and Navigation Society, and editor of the society’s quarterly newsletter “The Tiller,” will discuss this find at the Rappahannock Historical Society’s regular quarterly meeting on Friday, November 4, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Library in Washington, Va. Harding, an early transportation hobbist, will also present an illustrated overview of the rise and fall of canals in America, including the Rappahannock and Hazel River canals which served our area.
Harding maintains his own museum and library at his retirement home in Mineral.
The Historical Society meeting is open to the public.
