Wabash & Erie Canal Lock 47 park grand opening is Sept. 6

Although the Wabash & Erie Canal rolled through Terre Haute in the 1800s, virtually no evidence of its existence is available today.

That will change when Lock 47, part of where the canal once coursed through the city and constructed by Robert Logan in 1837 and 1838, has its grand opening as a park on Sept. 6.
