Wabash and Erie Canal Park - Delphi Indiana

Over our years of traveling in RVs we've stumbled across some little, seemingly hidden, gems. We did again in north-central Indiana. This was another discovery resulting from trying to find a good RV park to spend a couple nights. It just so happens there is a nice little RV park as part of this gem. What is the gem? It is the Wabash and Erie Canal Park in Delphi Indiana. A great piece of American history.

Most adults have heard of the Erie canal in New York that ran from Lake Erie to the Hudson River but how many have heard of the Wabash and Erie Canal that ran from Lake Erie to the Ohio River near Evanston Indiana? A short section of this canal, and a mid-1800s village, has been preserved at Delphi. The park also has canal boat rides, an Interpretive Center, and a lot of informative interpretive signs.
