BOONVILLE — The Boonville Black River Canal Museum has been named the August Business of the Month by the Boonville Area Chamber of Commerce.
Established in 2003, the museum has run for 18 years with continual improvements. It is dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the Black River Canal and surrounding communities. The canal, once a bustling waterway that connected the Erie Canal to the North Country, facilitated the transportation of goods and people in the 19th century, leaving a lasting impact on the development of Upstate New York.
