Joseph Ellicott & the Erie Canal A Living History Event at the Kenmore Library

🎶 "How does a surveyor, planner, Holland Land Company man,
Map out the frontier and shape all of Western New York land..." 🎶
Long before the Erie Canal made waves, Joseph Ellicott was carving out the path—literally. Step back into 1824 with local historian Dennis Upton as he channels Ellicott himself in a dynamic, one-man living history performance.
Learn how this lesser-known figure helped lay the foundation for the towns, cities, and stories of Western New York. It’s local history with drama, depth, and a dash of founding-era flair.
