Georgetown Heritage will resume its public boat rides along the C&O Canal on May 5. Here's how to get tickets:
Last year’s tours proved more popular than expected, with more than 20,000 tickets purchased, according to the nonprofit Georgetown Heritage. Riders came from 52 U.S. territories and states as well as 48 countries.
“We are glad to build on last year’s success and offer new ways to connect people with this important milestone of American history,” said S. Rex Carnegie, director of education and partnerships for Georgetown Heritage in a press release.Each hourlong tour takes passengers along a one-mile stretch of the canal where they can experience what it’s like to pass through a rising and falling lift lock. Along the way, enthusiastic guides share facts about life on the canal more than a century ago.
