A Rainy Day in Lebanon, Pennyslvania

One rainy Saturday Dad drove Mom, Chanda and me to Richland to eat at a restaurant right next to a rail road. We saw lots of trucks but only one train went by.

Afterwards he drove us to Lebanon to see the Union Canal Tunnel, a National Historic Site.

When they got to this hill the horses went over it and the canal drifted through the tunnel with the help of men using poles. Canal transportation was 5 times faster than wagons over land and so many canals were built in those days.

Looking through the tunnel to the other side. There are houses built on the hill it goes under and Tunnel Hill Road goes over it. The parking lot for this side of the park is also above the tunnel.

Looking down to the canal from halfway up the hill.
