All aboard Georgetown’s new C&O Canal boat! Join W&M alumni, parents, family and friends for a one-hour guided historical tour of the first mile of the Canal. Learn about the fascinating history, technology and culture of the C&O Canal, and the surprising stories of the people who lived, worked and played here over the past two centuries. The 80-foot Heritage is a new, historic replica of an 1880s boat that was used for daily transportation of coal, lumber and agricultural products along the C&O Canal.

The Canal boat boarding area is located at C&O Canal Lock 3, along the Canal towpath between Thomas Jefferson and 30th Streets NW (near 1057 Thomas Jefferson St). The nearest parking garages are located at 1055 Thomas Jefferson St NW and 1101 30th St NW less than a 5-minute walk to the Canal boat boarding area. Plan to board at 11:45am for the Sunday noon tour.
