Folklore museum about the opening of the Miami-Erie Canal and the birth of Delphos. The Canal Commission has an archival collection from the entire historic period of the region, from an 1863 note to letters home from the Ohio 116th to hundreds of manuscript pages once used by the Paul Whiteman Band. There is an 1846 log house reconstructed in the museum, canal related artifacts from tiny bottles filled with abandoned patient medicines to the parts of the "Marguerite" that had been pulled from the Miami-Erie Canal in 1989 by 57 Delphos youngsters.
Walking tours of historic homes and buildings and refreshments available upon request.
