Robert J.Honders, Sr., is the Neversink Valley Museum of History and Innovation's engineering consultant. He explains how the D&H canal operated and what needs to be done to safely restore its source of water. Rob will present his talk on ( to be announced date) at the D&H Canal Park's visitor's center in Cuddebackville.

This is an important presentation in the effort to restore a controlled source of water to the canal and is supported by many, including the Facebook group “Wet the Canal”. There will be presentations at a future date and admission will be free.

Rob has been involved with the D&H Canal since the storm of 1985. He has been a consultant to former Parks Commissioner, Graham Skea, and built the Canal Packet Boat the Neversink Valley Museum used for tourist education and entertainment before the canal lost its water source. Rob understands the hydrology of the Neversink River at Cuddebackville and knows what needs to be done to assure a safe and reliable source of water in the park's section of canal.

These images are just a few in the presentation and had to be cropped to fit the previously chosen format. They can be enlarged by clicking on the image. If you are not somewhat familiar with the site these images may be difficult to interpret. I am available to to lead interested parties to the site for a closer look and answer questions.
