Carroll County Wabash & Erie Canal, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, registered in 1974 to preserve the historic Wabash & Erie Canal in Delphi as a significant part of Indiana’s history. The founding members were driven to save the only remaining publicly accessible, watered portion of the canal in Indiana for educational and recreational purposes.
Located in the City of Delphi, this three-mile section of the canal was once part of the longest man-made waterway in the Western Hemisphere and the second-longest transportation canal in human history at 468 miles. It operated from approximately 1832-1876 and stretched from Toledo, Ohio to Evansville, Indiana.
