Maybe it's the common love of bow ties, but I do like that guy.

I’ve bicycled the canal towpath from the armory up into Broad Ripple and beyond several times, a really nice ride:

Central Canal Towpath - Indiana Greenways

Stretching from southwest Broad Ripple Village to White River at 30th Street, the Central Canal Towpath features two iron bridges from the 19th century along the crushed limestone path. Both bridges are considered an American Water Landmark, and date back to 1872 and 1879. A newer pedestrian...

I love his videos. He has a talent for speaking.

I HATE when his wife does an episode. She's nice and all, but does not have the delivery chops Lance does.

On a related note, I just found this channel. SideQuest. Really entertaining.

Neat. A section of the canal is on my daily running route. Didn't know it was such a gigantic boondoggle.

Curious where the digging for this was done in Delaware and Madison counties….. thanks for sharing.

I recommend this youtuber. The History Guy: History Deserves to be Remembered.
He has a lot of interesting things that kinda get forgotten.

Doing a little reading…. Looks like the excavations were not ten minutes north, south, and east of where I live. I’ll do more reading just because I’d like to know exactly where they were. Thanks again and I’ll be checking out more on this gentleman’s channel.

You wont regret it. He does amazing work. He's in my top 3 channels.

And please share your results on the digs. Im not from your neck of the woods, but do find the history interesting.

I’ve been reading for the last bit and I’ve drove by and layed eyes on these areas my whole life and never knew their significance. What’s funny is I live in Anderson….. at one time the place I live would of been in Victoria, Indiana. Only one house was built in Victoria before the bottom fell out of the canal business and it became just another part of Anderson.
