Newcomerstown, OH: Lost Ohio & Erie Canal

Newcomerstown: (Satellite, according to the topo map below, the canal was south of Canal Street.)

Dixon Dahlstrom posted two photos with the comment: "I passed through Newcomerstown today and decided to shoot this so you could clearly see where the [Ohio & Erie] canal went through."

Matthew Gray: Very neat image.

Coshocton also had or still does have a very neat canal exhibit / museum

[Some comments claim that the red building (satellite) is haunted.]

Terry Capozza: I asked at the Canal House in Tuscarawas where the canal was and they said in the back yard.Thats neat.

I disagree with the contemporary photo because it implies the canal was a half-block north of Canal Street. The red building, https://maps.app.goo.gl/1b8JLm1UkEzyEgKS8, is on the north side of Canal Street. This topo map shows the canal was south of Canal Street.

I did not find Canal House, but it must be on the west side of Main Street. I did find Lock #15: https://maps.app.goo.gl/HxVKVGZMNpqLVVba6.
