the erie canal museum is a historical museum about the erie canal located in syracuse, new york. the museum was founded in 1962 and is a private, non-profit corporation. it is housed in the syracuse weighlock building dating from 1850. the syracuse weighlock building was in operation as a weighlock from 1850 to 1883. in 1883 the canal decided to stop charging tolls. the weighlock building was essentially used as a big, elaborate scale to weigh the boats traveling on the erie canal and determine how much each boat would pay for a toll. today the museum includes not only artifacts from the erie canal, but also a gallery of present canal life. it is the mission of the museum to help people to learn the rich history of the erie canal and that it is not just a thing of the past, but still very much exists today in different forms.
