Nearby informational marker (see photo #2):
Main Street canal store sits on the N.W. bank of the canal. Reputedly built by Moore Furan in 1836. Notice the loft openings (center bldg.) with batten doors enabling cargo to pass directly to canal boats.
A boat yard and basin located approx. 100 yards N.W. of Main Street, a lime kiln just S.W. of canal at Main Street, and bridge abutements just west of Main Street still survive.
Marker is at the intersection of Main Street and Canal Lane, on the right when traveling south on Main Street.
