Thank you to everyone who came out to our community celebration of the Whitewater Canal State Historic Site Restoration Project! This celebration was a culmination of years of hard work, advocacy and partnership.

We’re excited to start this important work to restore and preserve Whitewater Canal for future generations. We are so grateful to the State of Indiana, the Southeastern Indiana Regional Economic Acceleration Development Initiative and I Love Metamora, Inc for their support throughout this process.

We’ll be posting updates on our progress, so keep an eye on this page!
