Riverside to go

Riverside Map – September 1918

The Canal Society of New York State Winter Symposium at Rochester, New York, on Saturday, March 1, is going to feature my work on Riverside and the McDougall-Duluth Company. I get the pole position – 8:30 a.m. – so I’ll need to be sharp and ready first thing! The Society is also a driving force behind the preservation of the last existing McDougall-Duluth Company boat, the Day Peckinpaugh, originally the I.L.I. 101. It is a great honor to be asked for a return presentation and I am looking forward to it – here’s to good weather so my plane isn’t delayed.

Riverside in the Fall

I couldn’t help but upload a panoramic image of Riverside that I took prior to leaving on Sunday. The colors are spectacular and it was great to walk through the community with a great group of McDougall enthusiasts. Hats off to Superior Public Museums’ staff and volunteers for organizing a fine event and to all the attendees.
