Union Canal Tunnel by hjbenson

Union Canal Tunnel

Harry took us out to the Union Canal Tunnel maintained by the Lebanon County Historical Society. It is the the oldest existing transportation tunnel in the United States. It was started during May 1825 and completed in June 1827 for a total length of 729 feet long.
So pretty Harry. :)
