The first spades full of dirt for the Erie Canal were turned in Rome and a short span of the original canal still remains that can be visited. In addition, tour the Fort Stanwix Monument, a restored 18th century frontier fort that played a pivotal role during the Revolutionary War. The Fort is outfitted with guides in period costume who share information with you about life in the 1700's. History abounds in the region and down the road a short distance is the Oriskany Battlefield that saw one of the bloodiest battles of the Revolution when American patriots under General Nicholas Herkimer were ambushed on their way to relieve the siege at Fort Stanwix. Nearby at the village of Herkimer is the Gems Along the Mohawk store that has products produced by over 60 businesses located in the Mohawk Valley. In addition to an excellent restaurant there is Diamond Cruises that offers trips on the Erie Canalway on whose banks the Gems store is situated.
