All excellent points, reflecting a distinguished career in the field -but is the role, or one of the roles, of the museum really to "make people feel valued?" And, if so, what people, what values? How, if at all, should what amounts to identity politics determine the museum's traditional role in collection, conservation and education?

While traveling back to my base around lager lechfeld in Germany, had lunch in a wine barrel turned into a cafe on Rhine river.

lionel made an operating model of the Stourbridge Lion. I have mine on my mantel just outside Honesdale.

18th and 19th centuries coffee houses were a thing. Not so much in the 17th century. They existed but were quite rare. Vienna and Paris basically.

ofcourse its some random trump supporter from the middle of nowhere who knows the long history of barrel making XD classic MAGA fuckweed

I grew up on the Texas Gulf coast so we weren't taught much about the canals that were so important to the development of the hinterlands west of NYC. Did I miss the geographical clues? In my recent follow-alongs of the Original Erie, the Upgraded Erie and the Black River canals Google has the route of the abandoned canals marked. The NY portion of the D&H is marked. But not the Penn portion. I couldn't determine on the map exactly where this civil engineering artifact is. Google often puts a rook-like symbol to mark such things. Did I just miss it? Or should Google be advised of a historical update to their database?

Do you have the plans to build staves for barrel ? Thank you

Great video! I especially love the former President’s beautiful classy First Lady from European decent also!! Unlike the current cognitive decline pedophiles Babysitter he substituted under scandal who is a doctor of Nothing!!

WOW!!!!! What an amazing History & Tutorial on Barrel Making. I was asked to make a barrel and being a retired machinist, I knew the staves taper at the ends. I didn't know how to decide how much to taper the staves. I knew how to divide a circle into sections, but the simple knowledge to divide by 2 gives the angle for each side of the staves. I'm not trying to make a wet barrel, just something that looks like that type of barrel. This video has been a great help to me. Even still; it's not an easy thing to make. The barrel bands must be cone shaped; it's not just a straight strip of metal, and that's another challenge in it self.

Fantastic presenter, and I finally know the size and origin of a firkin.

Awesome I've drove the fun length 108 miles a few times there's many spots still intact

Back in the summer of 1988, I worked on an NPS HABS/HAER project documenting both the Roebling Delaware Aqueduct and the nearby Zane Grey House. Prior to the Lackawaxen and Delaware Aqueducts, there were two canal locks on either side of the Delaware River by the confluence of the Lackawaxen. The canal barges hauling coal from Honesdale dropped down on the west bank and crossed on the Delaware River and then were raised back up to the canal on east Delaware bank. As I recall, prior to the aqueducts, there was a lot of expensive litigation between the D&H Canal and lumber companies floating logs down the Delaware. The aqueducts eliminated the legal conflicts as well as the delay of the two locks.

Amazing, great presentation. So happy I found this

So koool. As kids we would go when they let the dam out and we would jump into the pool below. All the while never really knowing the true history of this site. 🙌🏼🙌🏼

One thing that is never talked about is the connection of the Mule poop that must have been produced right next to a body of water [the canal] that may also be a source of driving water! Two mules for every canal boat multiplied by a FIVE-day trip. That's a'LOT of POO! 💩💩💩

Wow this is serendipitous! Our original song about canal life released today, and we both chose the painting “On the Towpath” by Edward Lamson Henry as imagery! Here is a link: ua-cam.com/video/9WFz4JBKLx4/v-deo.htmlsi=XS4SBKAH16Uvnoie

Plenty of good stories in this video, although the Egyptians used barrels 3000 years ago, research the word COUP to hold or keep, BUT a huge usage was for gunpowder. DRY + WET + WHITE coopers were the trades when I was young.

Very cool local history. 👍👍👍

Great video!

Great save.

Brilliant lecture. Thank you.

The D&H Canal, Americas first million dollar corporation!

Interesting! Thank you for sharing.😊

John Cox is amazing! I loved every minute. Thank you for sharing:)

Thanks for the site see !

Great job finding those artifacts, presenting and production the video guys!

Did it connect to any other canals? I couldn’t find anything saying it did

Great Job Bill, can't wait to see you guys in August (DePuy/Brodhead Family Association)

Fascinating. Wish I could have joined you to see it all in person. Next best thing: This video. Thank you, both.

Probably a dumb question, but am I correct that NJ has 0 extant functional locks? I guess some shipyard on the NJ side of the Delaware may have a drydock, so the gates to that would be the closest thing in the state is my guess.

VERY COOL ! Thank you gentlemen!

I used to jump off that into the river when I was a kid

Fabulous video! So cool to see that more remnants of the abutments and foundations remain in place than was previously thought. The four Roebling canal aqueducts were state of the art engineering marvels in their day and remain priceless (to me and many others) historical artifacts of the engineering and construction marvels that constituted the Delaware and Hudson Canal.

Exciting stuff! So fun to get a verbal preview of this from you last Saturday at the museum, and then more fun to see it posted! Thank you!

Awesome finds.

Wish we still had the real people, now its not a sustainable future 😪

Excellent Information, Hey Bill,thanks for the education!

Awesome, love it!

Cool adventure, Bill. Congrats on finding the house.

Thank you Bill for a most enjoyable and very important visit providing a great look at the archeology that we need to be preserving and interpreting.

Thanks, Bill, for helping us, literally, to see the route & the roots of the Canal.

Nicholas McShane born in Ireland abt 1807 Home included his wife Catharine McShane and their 6 children, Mary, James, Felix, Marcella, Patrick & Catharine J. Also, I believe his neighbor was Abraham Brown and by the size of his Headstone in Westbrookville, I’m guessing Brown was a huge name. McShane was he a Marine? Was that area known as Brownville at one time?

The Richardson's Bridge is shown on page 134 of Manville Wakefield's all important D & H Canal history book, "Coal Boats to Tidewater," for those who have the book. It is shown in small print in the illustration labeled "Summit Level." Love these on-site history lessons, Bill... keep 'em coming!

Beautiful! How can I access this area for walking?

Bill , lock 9 has the kilns...Dave

Wonderful. The museum and walking trail are a must visit when in the area. I lived across the street, above the Barking Dog Antiques store for a year and visited the Depuy, though long after Mr. Zraly left. Contemporary hospitality establishments lack the second word in this sentence, being more about their POS reports.

ESOPUS MILLSTONES were also made of Shawangunk Grit. facebook.com/photo/?fbid=346059768805565&set=a.346059415472267

Fascinating! Thank you!
