RevX Scholars are currently in Erie Canal lock 18! June 26 3:56 pm

Revolutionary Crossroads took the past two days to experience, reflect, and commemorate the Haudenesaune, the Mohawk Valley, New Netherland/Fort Orange, New York, and the Hudson River School. #USVA250 is part of a robust, complex, and powerful experience. It is not a moment.

Revolutionary Crossroads (RevX) Day 6 theme was "wedding of the waters." Sites and experiences include - Cohoes Falls, Harmony Mills Industrial Complex, The Waterford Flight, Champlain Canal, and a Hudson River Cruise exploring the Port of Albany.

RevX Day 7 Encore - Yesterday a handful of program participants experienced the Waterford Flight and Erie Canal by kayak. It was a very unique way to commemorate the canal's "wedding of the waters" bicentennial.

Thanks to Johnny Finn for this reminder! Virginia people — today is Election Day! If you haven’t already, GO VOTE! Off-year local elections usually mean low turnout, so your vote carries serious weight. Polls close at 7pm. Who is on the ballot in your district? ballotpedia.org/Virginia_ele...
