This is a Quinte Branch Hybrid Presentation
Saturday September 20, 2025
1 pm on Zoom
And in person at the Multi-Purpose Room at Quinte West Public Library, Trenton Location
The Murray Canal is almost forgotten in today’s bustling world, but, for several decades after it was finally opened in 1889, barges delivered all sorts of products to market and steam boats carried passengers to summer resorts and Sunday day trips.
The question has always been “Why did the canal not get built until the 1880’s?”
The History Guy of Brighton, ON answers this question along with others about how the politics came together to finally have it built. In fact, the Murray Canal is still there providing a vital link between Lake Ontario and the Trent Severn Waterway, but you won’t see many barges.
Dan’s books will be available for sale at the in-person meeting. A payment device will be provided for your convenience.
We look forward to seeing you again!
