For more information on the visitor's center please go to http://www.middlesexcanal.org
The museum is located at the Billerica Falls of the Concord River, parking is across the street form the building, the handicapped entrance is to the right of the museum.
If you talk to a volunteer or docent while in the museum, please tell them to thank the directors for allowing the letterbox to be in the building.
The Middlesex Canal was incorporated by John Hancock in 1793 and its 27 miles between the Merrimack and the Charles Rivers(Lowell to Boston) were completed in 1803. the canal was 3-1/2 feet deep x 30 feet wide with 20 locks and 8 aqueducts and 50 bridges. It was the first part of what became an interstate water transportation system between Boston and Concord, NH.
As you enter the museum you will be facing the info desk. to the left are exhibits about the canal. Enter the passport office. In the office is a lectern, on one of the shelves is a book containing the stamp and logbook. Black in should be used and color the water blue when you get home.
This box has been removed due to anticipated shut down and moving of museum. It is hoped it can be replanted when new museum is opened.
