The Erie Canal Museum, located in Downtown Syracuse, NY, engages the public in the story of the Erie Canal’s transformative impacts on peoples and places in the past, present, and future. We are stewards and interpreters of Erie Canal related materials and heritage. The Museum is housed in the 1850 National Register Weighlock Building, the last remaining structure of its kind. Visit us for exhibits with interactive displays and original artifacts, and engaging programs. The Erie Canal Museum is a must-see for adults and children of all ages.
Description
Step into a winter wonderland at the Annual Gingerbread Gallery, a cherished holiday tradition celebrating creativity and history. Dozens of gingerbread creations crafted by talented local bakers are on display in the storefront windows of a 19th century canal town.
Marvel at the intricate gingerbread creations crafted by talented local artisans, each one capturing the magic of the season in a unique way. Stroll through the gallery, be inspired by the creativity on display, and vote for your favorite masterpiece.
These tickets serve as admission to the Erie Canal Museum, which includes the Gingerbread Gallery. During the Gallery season, tickets are required for museum entry.
This year, the Gallery is presented by the Pomeroy Foundation. The Annual Gingerbread Gallery will be held on the first floor. Our front doors are accessible. There is a slight incline, as you approach one side of the Gallery. We are building another ramp, for our model boat, which will be completed before November 20th. Please note: half of the Erie Canal Museum is a historic building. This means the floor is old and slightly warped.
