CCA Rte20 Sign Look for this landmark.

Our new sign was dedicated at Route 20 and Canal Road on November 21, 2009. Funds for the sign were donated by Cadbury-Schwepps, the owner of the Motts brand. The neighboring Bouckville mill was the original location of the Motts apple cider mill.

Walk the Towpath Trail

The Towpath Trail in Bouckville leads two miles North from the museum to the Oriskany Creek where an aqueduct once crossed the creek. The hand cut stone abutments are still there in excellent condition and water from the canal spills into the creek heading north to the Erie Canal. Photo Room for 2-3 cars at the creek.

Walking 6.5 miles south leads to the Village of Hamilton. OR, park at the Courthouse on Montgomery Street in Hamilton and start the trail at the back of the adjacent field heading north past the Hamilton Airport and Woodman’s Pond..
