The impact to the visiting public will be minimal since the buildings are not open for regular tours. “With both of these grants we look forward to restoring the property and these three buildings to their heyday, so the public may continue to enjoy them.” “In 2017, the Division also received a $615,000 grant for Morris Canal improvements at Waterloo,” Parks and Forestry Director Olivia Glenn said. For those reasons and others, it is important that we preserve these connections to our history so future generations will understand and appreciate the many vital roles New Jersey had in the growth of our nation.” “Both New Jersey and Pennsylvania used the canal to transport goods to market in New York, allowing merchants and communities to grow and thrive. “The Morris Canal was a critical component for interstate commerce in the 19th and early 20th centuries,” Commissioner McCabe said. The grant from the state’s Regional Transportation Alternatives Program will be used to stabilize and restore historic structures that are key to interpretive programs about the village when the Morris Canal was a bustling inland port.
