Discover the people who kept the Morris Canal working.

For almost a hundred years, the Morris Canal & Company employed boatmen, mule tenders, lock tenders, plane tenders, brakemen, and maintenance workers of all kinds. Some stayed for a season, while others made the canal a career.

Although we may not know their names, Joe Macasek’s presentation will introduce us to their work, their jobs, and their lives.

Join the Canal Society of New Jersey on Friday, November 20, 2026, for a light supper at 6:30 p.m., introductions and announcements at 7:15 p.m., and the presentation at 7:30 p.m.

This event is free; please RSVP to office@canalsocietynj.org.
