DescriptionThe Delaware and Raritan Canal community is extraordinarily rich in historic character. Not only has a significant part of the canal structure been preserved intact but a really surprising amount of the route looks very much today just as it did eighty years ago.
This book is intended to serve not only as a report on that historic legacy but also as a guide for those who want to see it. It locates and identifies the significant structures, educates the layman on the architectural styles, and supplies a context that gives meaning to the individual parts.
