By joining the Canal Society of New Jersey, you will become a member of an organization that provides historical education and preservation of New Jersey’s two towpath canals and will have a good time doing it. We offer a wide range of activities that accomplishes these goals, while also providing fun and education.

Some of our activities include:

• Maintaining our Canal Museum at Waterloo Village, where the public can learn about the history of New Jersey’s canals.
• Conducting historical research and publishing articles in our newsletter.
• Educating the public through our Program Meetings, Symposiums, and Canal Days at Waterloo Village.
• Protecting and preserving canal remains by partnering with counties, municipalities, and other historical groups.
• Clearing towpath trails along the two canals.
• Providing tours and hikes of canal locations, or other related historical sites.
• Taking part in canal-related events that are provided by other groups.

In addition, every Canal Society member will receive a printed copy of On the Level, our newsletter that is published three times a year.
